Make all fruit and vegetables more affordable and raise the price of junk food i.e candy, soda, chips and fastfood.

Created by A.S. on August 02, 2013

Affordable Fruits and Vegetables will improve the health of many. If America is to see a drop in obesity rates there needs to be a simple solution that every family can take. There is, I hear too often at the grocery store that fruits and vegetables are so expensive. So people buy what they can afford. What most people dont realize is the valuable fiber in the fruits and vegetables will actually keep them full longer thus it cost less, but all they see is the high price tag on the shelf. I spend 35 dollars a week in fruits and 35 dollars a week in vegetables. Also, the foodstamp program should only allow healthy food by not allowing the purchase of junk food- Georgia already has this in their state foodstamp program, it should be implemented across the United States.
