    No matter where you live, or what you believe, I think we can all agree that access to healthy food shouldn't be a partisan issue.

        It’s disturbing to see that the President wants to cut SNAP funding, federal food assistance, by billions of dollars

        While it shouldn’t take government assistance for a working parent to buy dinner for their family, it happens more often than we think.

        44 million Americans (3 million NYers) in every kind of community—urban, rural, small town—need SNAP to survive.http://bit.ly/2syN5Io

        Budgets reflect priorities. Taking food away from children, seniors, and struggling families shouldn’t be the federal government's priority.

        The question remains: How do we support our communities while providing a safety net for those who work hard but still need help getting by?

        To fix our economy, Congress must work hard to answer this. But I can tell you for sure that cutting SNAP isn’t the way to get there.

        Ideally SNAP would exclude #Dairy, #AnimalMeat, and sugar/processed "foods" as well. Let's encourage healthy #plantbased options please!

        Terrible idea. Don't force your food preferences on ppl, much less ppl who don't have the money to afford such a lifestyle.

        I hate processed foods, but that's the majority of what I can AFFORD on the limited income SNAP gives me. I have no income besides SNAP.

        And, having Crohn's Disease, I actually can't eat a lot of "natural whole" foods because it's VERY hard to digest. Especially during flares.

        Plus some people need meat and dairy due to their own unique health issues. Not everyone can happily nix such things from their diets.

        Good on you for being vegan. But educate yourself, please. Not everyone can, or should. There is no one size fits all diet. Period.

        That's provably false and humans are designed only for plant consumption. Also it's cheaper. I advise watching a documentary on the topic.

        Sadly, I don't think we CAN all agree. If so, we wouldn't have food deserts and shaming kids for free lunch.
