MODIFY FOOD STAMPS! Stop allowing "SNAP benefits" to be used to purchase unhealthy items such as soda/chips.

Created by G.F. on December 13, 2012

I believe that the foodstamps should be modified and used only to buy the necessities such as juices, milk, vegetables, bread, meats, noodles, etc... I believe that many of our tax dollars are not being spent on foods that can benefit the people on these programs. It should be more or less something similar to the "W.I.C program" where they have set amounts of things allowed to buy. It is a oxymoron, the poverty are the obese. In doing this SNAP modification, we would take out the ability to purchase such things as chips, sodas, candies alongside other junkfood and give certain amounts of money to spend on meats/ fish/ produce/ juices/ milk and bread.
