• Do Food Stamps and Fanta Mix?
  Comment: This proposal may make sense for people who have distance from people who actually receive food stamps, if you have ever received food stamps you would know how degrading it is to have decisions that are pre made for you. Of course soda is not good for anyone, that's already been established, the idea that government would be educating these wayward poor people is an insulting, if old familiar one. If you are really concerned about the health or wellness of people who receive food stamps how about increasing the amount of savings that you can have and still receive food stamps so that people can actually save and build some wealth? Everyone knows that there is a correlation between money and health until you address that this measure is nothing more than another patronizing act of a clueless governor under a billionaire.
