This petition is to try to bring an end to food being bought using SNAP benefits that is considered to be "junk food". High Fat content, high calorie count, high sugar content should not be part of the items you can purchase using SNAP. Potato chips, candy bars, ice cream, doughnuts, beverages with high sugar content, items with High Fructose Corn Syrup, High trans fat should no longer be allowed to purchase with SNAP benefits.
As a taxpayer whos taxes help fund the SNAP program, I am appalled as to what many folks purchase using these benefits. An example, my last trip to the grocery store, a woman used SNAP to purchase a buggy filled with potato chips, cases of sugary sodas, with no healthy items in sight. This kind of thinking when it comes to items bought with SNAP needs to end.
