That was an interesting read. Though I do agree with providing food assistance recipients with nutrition education. Childhood obesity is a real epidemic and I think a lot of the time people just don't know better. I know, junk food is cheaper than healthy food but there are ways to eat healthy affordably and providing people info on how to would be helpful.

MO is trying to pass something similar; no junk food with food stamps. SIL shared some hokey blogarticle praising this.
