        .@CBSNews go to the store in a poor area. No healthy food. Spend some money making sure affordable, healthy food is even accessible.

        what is in a store is what shoppers demand. It's up to the shoppers trend.

        Healthy food goes bad quicker. Unhealthy food is easier for a lower income store owner to keep on the shelves longer.

        While I think people shouldn't eat crap food, I don't think govt should limit choices like that. We don't need food police.

        No. Forcing families to buy foods from the outdated, unhealthy Food Pyramid is govt. overreach.

        Seems that more frequently these "law makers" are more interested (and excited by) the prospect of just banning food assistance

        Foodstamp program is not free. Actual humans work and pay for this. Tax payers pay, tax payers should control

        Most food stamp recipients must work a minimum of 20 hours per week. They are tax payers too.
