Food stamp bills seek to restrict junk food

79. Here is where I agree with you. What many do not know is that there are things that are already

on a list of things you cannot buy with food stamps. I have always wondered why soda pop is not on that list. There is water that can either be bought or from you own taps if it is safe. I also think candies should be on the list. Some cereals also.

As to the areas that do not have access to good stores - I wonder if the little stores they buy at now would not stock healthier food if they could no longer sell junk to EBT users. As to chips that would be harder as meals like a nacho salad include chips.

I have used food stamps for many years and yes, I have bought junk food but only as a suppliment not as main meals. Buy the way many families do not get enough food stamps to provide food for a month and use money of their own to get the extra they need. I do not think I have ever used just food stamps for food.
