    Food assistance programs aren’t about helping people find joy in harmful behaviors. Again, there’s a reason why we don’t let people buy alcohol with this assistance and candy and soda is just as nutritionally empty.

        I’m okay with these particular restrictions and my tax dollars not contributing to the obesity and diabetes epidemic. I don’t think that affects my status as a progressive any either.

        Gonna have to agree to disagree on this one, and that’s okay. One thing I really like about Lemmy is how we’re able to have this disagreement without childish downvotes and insults. Refreshing.
