Weigh in - State lawmaker wants to ban people from using food stamps to buy junk food

I agree. That was VERY rude! I doubt she knows JB, at all, and what a FABULOUS educator she is, and how many COUNTLESS hours she gives to her employees and students

You have attacked a few people several times now. Perhaps you should stop & reread your posts instead of digging that hole you've made, even deeper.

it is so i have a sister who works in a school cafeteria in missouri and she brags about lunch shaming. she says if kids don't have money for lunch all they get is a peanut butter sandwich and she brags about it too! i think this happens alot more than what we realize. it is sad.

RU Serious? What is wrong with people?

It was outlined what would happen when children didn't pay for their meals at the beginning of school. All I could think was, yes, let's punish our children for having poor parents. That makes a whole lot of sense. And sometimes, it was over $10 owed.

She needs a new job...or to be hungry, and have someone throw a peanut butter sandwich, at her...

I volunteer!

i mean i agree with you. she is the person who puts everyone down, says i just took the easy way out to have the surgery. she says all poor people are obese and that missouri has alot of obese, poor meth addicts. i honestly think she gets a kick out of serving those kids who can't pay for their lunches peanut butter sandwiches. she refuses to shop at aldi's because in her words because of the kind of people who shop there. i think she has anger problems.

Sunbutter is like peanut butter, but made with sunflower seeds. My son's daycare is peanut-free due to allergies and they serve it instead of PB&J.

WTH is Sunbutter?

If the goal is protecting people from obesity and diabetes, then ban all of the junk food for everyone. If sugar and white flour were to be invented today, they would be dangerous and controlled substances. Make it illegal for companies to add sugar, flour, high fructose corn syrup to anything.

We are a world of addicts and get more unhealthy everyday. I want to see a lawmaker attempt to ban junk not for food stamp customers, but for all customers.
