We will no longer sit by and say nothing when we see that our tax dollars are being WASTED. Please address the corrupt and abusive and WASTEFUL way that FOOD STAMP benefits are being used.
We believe that the quickest, easiest to implement and least intrusive policy/law would be to make it unlawful for businesses to accept food stamps for food like products that either NOT FOOD or the fat or sugars accounts for 50% or more of the calories of the food.
Why is this important?
Tell our government and elected officials that we are FED UP with seeing grocery carts full of JUNK FOOD!
We would like to see a rule in place that will FORBID the sale of foods that derive more than 50 of their overall calories from FAT or SUGAR.
This simple and effective rule would do TWO proactive things: Recipients would buy acctual FOOD with their FOOD STAMPS and producers of high fat/high sugar products would either lose sales or they would change to meet the requirement.
No one wants to tell any company in this country how to run their business...we want to tell the people that get food for FREE to spend it on FOOD...not chips, candy, ice cream, Red Bull and Cakes!
