If You Can Buy Frozen Burger Patties And Fries With Them, What's The Difference?
-
Yum! Brands -- the folks who bring you Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, Long John Silver's, and A&W -- want to be able to take food stamps as payment for meals. They can already do so for the homeless, disabled, or elderly. and if you think it's outrageous to allow people to use food stamps to buy stuff off the dollar menu, do you think that the government has an interest in prescribing exactly what food the people who get benefits can eat? If you do, that's fine, and there are restrictions on what you can use food stamps for. But can we say that a burger from a dollar menu is any less healthy than if they make the burger at home for the same price or even more? And are people really going to eat better with the stuff that they buy at the grocery? (Raycom News Network via WFSB–TV/Hartford)
