Never really thought about it until now but I wonder why Michelle Obama was so intent on making the school lunch program healthy but did not make the same restrictions apply to food stamps?

All she did was make it where kids quit eating school lunches. It's like eating cardboard now. They don't cook, so they just took the stuff that made process food taste good, like salt, and eliminated them. The problem is it's still process food, it just taste bad now.

The difference between a diet being forced on kids vs adults choosing what to buy?


ultimately, some will abuse it and some will use it as a safety net.... but I think a lot of folks get more worked up than warranted on this issue when compared to the wider misuse of tax dollars out there. (No I'm not saying you can only be upset at one thing at a time or leave the system as is... simply that you see a lot of people jump on this one because it makes them feel superiority)
