That isn’t the point. The point is the government will control what people eat. Are you really okay with that?

Don’t government pretty much control what we eat already?

Not so much the choices now, but the sources. If the “Food Safety Act” passes home garden agriculture will disappear and all of our food will come from foreign sources.

I think if people are getting government food handouts, the government does have the right to tell them what they can eat.

My food budget is limited choice because of mortgage and car payments. People living in rent free government housing, subsidized utility bills, and driving old uninsured cars get to live pretty high on the hog when it comes to groceries.

My dollar, my choice. Government dollar, government choice. As a taxpayer, we enable government to make life too easy for freeloaders. Anything we can do to convince government to encourage frugality, and personal responsibility, I’m game.

They can eat whatever they want to. The gov’t shouldn’t be handing them just any old treats. YES, I think it should be limited when it’s a gift from the taxpayers.
