    It's time to stop shaming poor people for what they buy with food stamps. http://mojo.ly/2j8ttpY pic.twitter.com/X1EynMQz8s

        restricting what ppl buy with food stamps can lower obesity rates.

        The headline makes it sound like soda isn't the #1 purchased item with SNAP, but it is

        While we shouldn't judge what anyone buys, should tax payers be funding soda purchases?

        Better to shame a nation that needs people to rely on food stamps at all, especially the wealthiest, but then who has all the wealth?

        We get $16/mo from SNAP. Do not buy or drink soda. Financially secure people are in dark about poor people.

        It's also time to expand SNAP to cover hygiene products.
