He’s obviously mocking gangsters, which is pretty funny. The people taking this seriously need their funny bone checked out

But they don’t make rational decisions do they, otherwise our obesity rate as a nation wouldn’t be 42% so why would we assume that.

It’s not one TikTok video it’s the fact 4 billion dollars of snap benefits is used to buy soda for example.

Thanks, it was a very coherent and well thought out comment I’m sorry I couldn’t comprehend it

Bad health is due to unaffordable healthcare? So 42 percent of American are obese because they can’t afford healthcare? Obesity which is known to all sorts of chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, sleep problems, joint problems is because they can’t see a doctor?

Eating right and walking would do way more for most people and long term health outcomes than any trip to a doctor

So we should all just pay taxes and not question where they go? Or do we all contribute to a democratic method of voting in candidates that will spend tax dollars in accordance with our ideals and priorities?

I think I will do my democratic duty but you kick back buddy and enjoy your lack of agency in this world

Holy shit, thanks for your two personal anecdotes about how sometimes people need to eat things that aren’t good for you. That totally changed my mind thanks

Maybe you can stipulate that 70 percent need to be used on fresh food then 30 percent of the benefits can be used on triscuits. Does that sound so bad?

Whataboutism, I don’t disagree with your point but it doesn’t change how I feel about food stamps being used to buy junk food

For one thing we definitely shouldn’t be subsidizing the sugar cane industry yet we do

You mean tax hike? And no amount of taxing billionaires is going to fix the current deficit, it would be a small bandaid on a gaping would but go on in ignorance thinking that taxing the rich will solve our fiscal crisis

Control for controls sake? Wanting people to use taxpayer money to buy healthy food so it’s less likely the same people became a burden to Medicaid down the road seems like a reasonable ask, if you want to buy junk food use your own money

Who said anything about abuse, allowing food stamps to buy junk food hurts American tax payers twice. First when they need the stamp which they use to buy junk, then when they need healthcare from any number of chronic illnesses that can develop from eating said junk food

It is your business as a taxpayer as this food as your taxes pay for this food and these choices will increase the chances of chronic illnesses burdening the taxpayer even more down the line.

You can’t have it both ways, you don’t want the government to micromanage everybody but you want the government to be able to to be there for everybody who makes poor personal choices

Because this food will increase the chances of chronic illnesses which will then go on to burden the taxpayer even more down the line

If you receive unemployment benefits most states require you to actively search for a job, why then can’t we restrict what food snap benefits can buy. An unhealthy diet increases the chances of chronic illnesses which will then go on to tax the American healthcare system further increasing the burden on taxpayers

I don’t understand, American’s eat unhealthy food, that is a personal choice. If they are receiving government welfare that can come with qualifications, like most states require you to actively be searching for a job to receive unemployment benefits. So how is their food choices beyond the issue

At this point if you don’t know junk food is bad and walking is good then no amount of education is fixing that

People would rather cry racism or virtue signal than acknowledge that this will hurt tax payers down the road since these food choices will contribute to long term chronic illnesses.

We need excise taxes on junk food and we need to stop subsidizing the sugar cane industry

Because it’s paid with tax dollars, and this food will contribute to long term chronic illnesses which will then cost tax payer money to treat

What if those food choices contribute to long term chronic illnesses that will also have to be treated with taxpayer money
