Nobody has ever forced me to eat at McDonald’s. Those who think eating there is unhealthy shouldn’t eat there and stop complaining about those that do. If eating at McDonald’s was “healthy”, they’d be having the same problems that most school cafeterias that are serving Michelle Obama Gaggy Meals are having right now.
What about banning people who have Medicaid from eating fast food?
And no food stamps except for foods in the lean protein, high fiber, healthy fats, etc. categories.
Is that too drastic?
Because I’m telling you, it’s a vicious cycle.
If your job doesn’t provide decent health insurance and you aren’t buying decent insurance yourself, i.e., Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, etc., you ultimately, at some point, will be using taxpayer $$$$ to cover the medical bills which result from an anti-nutritious diet.
Why should taxpayers be stuck paying for self-inflicted heart disease, diabetes, etc.?
If a few dozen people were on Medicaid it wouldn’t be a big deal, but there’s 58 million people who rely on it — for life.
Hell, even NPR published a study recently which essentially said that “disability” is the new welfare.
There’s too many people in the cart and not enough people pushing the cart.
