Clear a...Peter, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy. Clear and simple. As I mentioned, this is big government micro managing and just more paperwork with rules and regulations. I thought republicans hated big multi-page bills? <br /><br />Michelle Obama received endless and brutal criticism for her healthy publically funded school lunch efforts, yet our state Republicans are now whining a publically funded Foodshare items? Democrats go after actual health issues that effect the entire nation. The minor problem of junk food is in the eye of the beholder.

I actually argue that this change doesn't go far enough. I have far to often seen people pay with an EBT card for their food and then pull out a wad of cash to get their cigarettes. It's shameful how horribly administrated the Food Shares program has been administrated.Peternoreply@blogger.com
