        If you have a problem with feeding the poor because it will cost rich people some money, you are not a follower of Christ.

        Seems in reading this that the study showed that people on food stamps spend pretty much what someone not using spends on soda, sweets

        Salty snacks. So republicans are implying that receiving food stamps increases diabetes, overweight issues,and bad eating habits simply

        because of how they pay for their food? Am I reading this correctly? So by restricting what they buy, if no different than others,

        One problem is when you are budgeting to the cents, unhealthy foods are always on sale. Frt & veg never are. Eating healthy is expensive.

        Absolutely. Just another thing people who have never been impoverished do not understand. Avg SNAP recipient on program < one year.

        Smokescreen. Historically, the GOP has been against gov mandates on sugary foods. This has nothing to do with health.

        Ah yes, Republican efforts to starve innocent helpless children. I'm sure that will show how Christian they are.
