so many ruts to bust
i know renaming is lame but why is one food stamps program the "women infants and children" program? are poor women as helpless as infants and children?
also these criticisms are weird:
Critics of Roe’s proposal say that the tighter nutritional requirements would actually be more of a burden for low-income individuals and families who rely on SNAP funds. (of course it's more of a burden. isn't that the point?) They also point out that Roe previously opposed efforts by first lady Michelle Obama to improve national school lunch nutritional standards. (so? incidentally the article linked to, while very liberal, talks about how students were barred from getting seconds and how the school staff threw away any extra food. not exactly helping to feed the hungry kids there. )
i think what they're getting at here is that maybe low-income people do purchase healthful food but maybe they're purchasing less healthy food with their food stamp card as a supplement. sorry, your doritoes have to come out of your own money.
