Kids are experiencing the same diseases now as alcoholics because of the high sugar consumption. 22% of calories now come from beverages, which is twice as high as it was in 1965. Prevention is the key. The USDA appears to want to perpetuate this.

agreed, though SNAP is supposed to be supplemental. There is an argument that meat shouldn't be approved at all (I'm on the fence).

The idea would be they have to work for meat, but they can be supplemented cheap food like potatoes, rice beans.
