I'll be paying for their shite regardless of what they eat. The smart people will buy cost effective staples to get their families through the month. The dumb ones will waste their ebt and buy only junkfood.

My tax dollars are gone no matter what they decide.

I'm just against trying to force people to eat a certain way. Because it opens up a slippery slope. A slippery slope that I prefer we, as a nation, not go down.


As far as healthcare. If our government would pay closer attention and manage their shite properly... then healthcare wouldn't be as much of a blackhole for funding, as it is now.

60 yr old guy on my block goes to the doctor 3 times a week. No, he doesn't have a disease or cancer. His doctor is a quack who wants to see him as much as possible. She has him on 8 medications. He's on meds to thin his blood, he's on meds to thicken his blood.

With the meds + doctor visits..last year alone... he cost taxpayers $75k. He could get by with one doctor visit every 6 months. Imo. I'm sure there are more people like him. I'm sure there are more doctors like his doctor.
