Since when are the answers to the question of the day not"yes" or "no"? Those are the options. And is is exactly that simple. The answers here are an attempt to skew the results. Pathetic.

Why isn't it set up like the WIC program, where there are only specific approved food items. that can be purchased? It's not rocket science. I know it, you know it, and so does RFK Jr.

Only healthy nutritious food should be able to buy with food stamps. Junk food should be abandoned. If junk food is bought with EBTstamps, it should be taxed. Chip, soda, and candy should be taxed. These foods are not nutrition and unhealthy

Healthy foods are high price and if they want us to buy more healthy foods, then either need to lower the price for healthy foods or raise the price on food stamps

Because not only are you removing sports drinks but juices in general....also you are telling older adults who payed taxes for year who are now on ssi/ssdi and rely on food stamps that they can't get what they paid for before now just because they are old/disabled .

No, because the Diabetic people like myself needs sugar free candy and sugar free soda. I know the government wants everyone to be healthy but we have rights too on what foods to eat.

Sugar is a basic food staple, and it is allowed. cokes, and candy is not. Get with the program.

Yes, they, and many other convenience foods should also be excluded. "It's not that simple", is an understatement.

Parks and rec is definitely a good show but The Office just has much more rewatch value, they’re made in slightly different ways and are different to experience
