The fact they were willing to sellout to freaking soft drink companies to cheerlead SNAP benefits means they should never be followed again. You can't trust anything from them.

No surprise to see the biggest political whore of them all, Jenna Ellis pushing tax payer funded diabetes with the rest of them.

Doesn't change how i feel about tax $ going to welfare food purchases.


They want junk food, fine. Buy it on their own dime. Not SNAP cards.

Is there a list of all the people?

I know Eric was one of them.


And this has been a thing.

quote:

When San Francisco proposed a tax on sweetened beverages in 2012, ABC News reported that the industry paid protesters up to $13 per hour to attend anti-tax rallies. These demonstrations were designed to appear grassroots, with participants claiming the tax would disproportionately harm minority communities.



quote:

Similar tactics emerged in New York when then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed size restrictions on sugary drinks. The NAACP and Hispanic Federation opposed the regulation without disclosing financial connections to Coca-Cola. In their court filing against the Bloomberg rule, the NAACP argued the regulation "arbitrarily discriminates against citizens and small-business owners in African-American and Hispanic communities."



quote:

The industry has also influenced the debate by funding groups that might otherwise support restrictions. Save the Children, which previously endorsed taxes on sweetened beverages to fight childhood obesity, abandoned this position while pursuing significant grants from major soda producers, including a $5 million contribution from the PepsiCo Foundation.

Everyone saw John Barron for what he is. This was just the icing on the cake.

No. Especially for what amounts to about 30 pieces of silver. No way in hell a conservative can approve of SNAP benefits for sodas.

I don't think it should be purely soda. Even juice has tons of added sugar and added calories for nothing.

Is soda good?No, but thinking that some of these "healthier" drinks are better is a fallacy.

"Again" would imply I ever trusted them to begin with, but the answer is no.

You shouldn't "follow" any of them. Use them as a source? Maybe. But, most of these types that people "follow" are nothing more than aggregators of news outlets and actual journalists (many of which you all rail against constantly). Most have no real sources, rarely cite or credit where they get information, lack the means to do any real vetting of 90% of the information they share, and only exist because people choose to "follow" them instead of the other sources they constantly rip off.

You shouldn't have trusted them in the first place.

Why would anyone trust them in the first place? They've always been grifters. They just made it easy enough for the blind to see with the soda pimping.
