No. The people should have freedom of choice.

However, they should be presented with more guidelines on how to eat properly.

The goverment should spend just a little bit to send these people qaurterly news letters with health tips and good eating habits.

im not saying they should not be allowed to buy the stuff but if 95% of it is JUNK food they should be made to pay for it and not you and me IMHO... and if they are at a store at 3pm why can't they be WORKING a real job to or how the taxpayers will pay for this ladies health costs when she eats her way to sickness with twinkies as her main staple...thats another story though sadly

The sad thing about people like that is they pass it on to the kids.

Alright then bernie, then we set up a restriction on junk food. It shouldnt be hard for manufacturer's to code the UPC to desiginate it as a 'junk food' item.

I agree with you 100% Dante
On top of that .... you know how you have to be a certain height to go on a roller coaster in Great America ......
I think the government should make it you have to be under a certain weight (300???) to walk into a fast food restaurant

I love your thinking!!

YES!

The FDA should allow food stamps to be bought for only certain items!!

LOVE THE IDEA!

One cannot buy alcohol or tobacco with food stamps correct?

DANTE, MUST ADMIT, THIS IS YOUR BEST IDEA EVER!!!

Clerk: excuse mam, you seem a bit overweight, according to regulations I am not allowed to sell you more than 3 items that will likely lead you to a stroke. Please either put back all other 45 items or go back and get at least 10 pieces of fruit. Thank you.

I can't stand people who pay for two items with a credit card. $1 and they have to whip out the plastic.

99% of the time, it is woman. Do they ever carry cash???

They should do what they like with the foodstamps. You can't mandate eating habits. I agree that it's disgusting, especially since they're passing the habits on to their kids (their kids should sue them when they're older) but you can't have the gov't regulating what people can eat.

The FDA needs to close, too, but that's another topic. :)

I Know someone who works in a Pharmacy and this customer comes in to pick up his cancer medication.. He was on State Aid.. Under state law the customer is charged One Dollar and if he says he cant afford the Dollar the state eats the co-pay...Well he says he cant afford the dollar co-pay and what does he do right after he gets his cancer medication for free he walks to the front of the store and buys a pack of cigarettes.. Unbelievable..

I wonder why they´r fatttt.... :lolBIG:

I think each decides what to do with their own body, health and looks... If she wants look like an overweight hipo, why would that be a problem for you???... I mean... those are HER foodstamps.
If uncle sam would actually care about citizen´s health it would all start with education ... IMHO
