No Food Stamps For Soda

Just pointing out that you zeroed in on obesity and diet soda doesn't cause that.

Back on topic, where do they draw the line? If I am following the logic of some, they shouldn't let people buy bottled water with food stamps either, there should be a spigot somewhere where they can get it free. Right?

The issue is soda. The law has to do with soda. I will discuss soda. I realize the fun people have changing topics b/c they think it will make them pee further in a given thread. It's funny to me. Fact is, there is absolutely no reason food stamps should be used for soda. If Chuck or anyone else would like to make a separate thread to discuss butter and food stamps feel free. Otherwise polluting my thread with idiocy doesn't change the fact that fat kids and people don't need more soda with government money.

My God, and the idea that someone who is fat, doesn't know they are fat is ludicrous. It isn't about hurting anyone's feelings here. We all make choices.

Fat and happy is better than stupid any day. Of course the truly stupid actually think they are smart.

Yes, if calling me names makes you feel better so be it. This thread is not about "smart." It is about personal responsibility and accepting welfare. When you incentivize bad behavior of any kind, that's what you get.

Hey you called me obese and say that I should accept it. I call you stupid and believe that you should accept it.

The stance that you have taken is directly opposite of personal responsibility. Accepting welfare and dictating what foods or drinks one decides to use with that welfare are not inclusive of each other. You aren't "incentivizing bad behavior", you are trying to intrude into peoples lives. Drinking soda is not bad behavior regardless of how you spin it.

Chuck, you are considered obese? It is not a personal shot because we are discussing obesity here. You would be the first to admit it is a personal decision you have made....I see what you are saying but the fact is people are not being responsible. 30 years ago, the obesity problem was not an epidemic. Today it is. Therefore, and especially when kids are involved, we can and should mandate that something that contributes towards obesity shouldn't be allowed when it is tax payer funded.

I didn't bring up butter or cigarettes. There is absolutely no reason in my mind why soda shouldn't be allowed to be purchased with food stamps. You are providing people with financial troubles with assistance not mandating that they eat or drink what the govt tells them can.
