Geeez, I wouldn't go THAT far. :shock:
I do think its high time to apply Bloomberg restrictions on what may be purchased with food stamps though. No sugar or sugary food; no cooking oil; nothing processed like white flour, white rice, white bread, white pasta or things made with them; nothing that contains a certain level of fat content recommended by nutritionists. I'd be willing to bet if these types of restrictions were placed on food stamps, grocery stores and the food industry would begin to stock and market more of the healthier stuff and the whole country would start eating and drinking healthier.
or simply replace food stamps with food warehouses where subsidized healthful food can be had by anyone who would qualify for food stamps.
