500k to buy, 49k per year forever. Sure. Columbia has that. Why not? 49k per year is reasonable. NOT!!!

Taxpayers are an endless source of income.

Do you agree with banning sugary foods and drinks from Missouri's SNAP program?

Our taxes shouldn’t be paying for other people’s junk food.

Sugary food is not essential. SNAP is for people who need to eat food they need not to go hungry. More healthy choices are beneficial for all.

So taxpayers are 100% funding SNAP and those benefits should be used properly. If SNAP recipients use benefits to buy soda, candy, cake, and other sugary products, we, the taxpayers will also be funding their healthcare for diabetes and other chronic ailments. Enough is enough.

Because it directly affects disabled and vulnerable populations, people with arfid, People who are trying to buy birthday cakes for their children, people who have disabilities who cannot easily make foods, people who have autism who have safe foods, people with diabetes. It's not right to police us

Why do we need to control people in our society? Sometimes the only way a child can get a little treat is if their parents can use a little bit of the benefits to buy something a little special.

If you look at the cost of less processed goods, you’ll see that you get much less bang for your buck. You spend more and get less whe. You eliminated the processed goods. Rather than hurt the consumer, the focus should be on making these processed foods healthier. This makes sense to parents.

I don't have the right to decide what poor people get to eat. Just because we give poor people money for food doesn't give us the right to take away their freedom of choice. They decide what to put into their bodies, not us. It's their bodies, their choice!!!

No one should be banning sweets from SNAP or any other program. This is just a way of controlling people and what is available for them to eat. What is next? MILK?

The poor/lower middle class aren't the problem, it's the billionaires. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down (Voodoo Economics) the bottom 90% of the population held about a third of the wealth and the 0.7% about 7% .... fast forward to today and the top 0.7% have MORE wealth than the bottom 90%!

No because there are a lot of people that need those sodas those candies whatever for reasons like oh I don't know to raise their blood sugar up when it gets super low. It's such a misconception and some more false narrative bullshit by these dumbass Republicans like Mike kehoe and Donald Trump.

I am not a big fan of bailouts, as Obama did with General Motors, but I do support this President.
