Food Stamps: Should people receiving food stamps be allowed to buy "junk food"?

OC: yes it should in reality only be used to help them sustain not satisfy their hears desire n should be put on time constraints if able bodied

RM: I wonder what would happen if people who are not on Food Stamps were told what to buy. Instead why don't we change our culture to promote healthier eating as a nation...not only poor people are suffering from obesity or poor diets.

QSW: No

LS:  When you take a handout from anyone, you are allowing that person to dictate what you can and can not do with it. In this case the government is providing the handout and if a person chooses to accept the handout, they also have to accept whatever rules the person giving the handout puts in place. It's the same concept with every other entitlement. If you sign up for public health care, the government has a list if who you can see, what tests they can run, how much it can cost. If you sign up for low income housing, the government says where you can live, who can live with you, how much money you can or can not make. Shoot, if you get a grant for college, the guarantor of that grant says how it can be paid and sets the limit on who qualifies. My bottom line is this. Everyone has the right to choice but when you allow someone or something else to pay for that choice, you remove your right to choose. Some people get pissed about that and work harder to remove the limits from their lives, for others it becomes a way if life. The choice is yours. 

CS:  Yes just ask Michelle Obama
