Make "junk food" ineligible for food stamps.

Created by G.B. on February 28, 2013

Michelle Obama wants to keep children from eating junk food. One of the first steps to keep this from occurring would be to make all junk food ineligible for food stamps. If families couldn't use food stamps to purchase these foods then these foods would not be in the homes for children to eat. The USDA states "Soft drinks, candy, cookies, snack crackers, and ice cream are food items and are therefore eligible items" These are the main junk food items that Michelle Obama targets in her campaign. Please help to make sure we can make these children healthier by making these items ineligible for food stamps.
