lol. you guys are utterly insane.

"Breitbart is so powerful that MY grocery shelves show an immediate response to their boycott of Kellogg cereals! Froot Loops, Apple Jacks, Corn Flakes, Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies, Special K, Cocoa Krispies, Keebler, Pringles, Pop-Tarts, Kashi, Cheez-It, Eggo, Nutri-Grain.... it was all untouched by the patriotic, God-fearing, Muslim-hating masses that is Breitbart's America!"

Red Bull
Candy
Mixes for alcoholic beverages
Artificial sweetener

How does these purchases help low income people stay healthy?
Guaranteed these companies have been using lobbyists to allow these purchases.


If I were in charge, food stamps. WIC. SNAP. ETC... would only be able to be used for low sugar cereals,oatmeal, bread, pasta, milk, juice, fruits and vegetables, and average priced meat (no filet or lobster etc)

You would never be in charge of SNAP and if somehow you were non of those ideas would fly.

I don't think you understand what I mean. The head of SNAP doesn't have the authority to remove unhealthy food from eligible items to purchase alone. You would be put into your place by special interest just like everyone else... Change is slow for a reason...
