If the gubmint really wanted to reduce obesity in food stamp recipients it would be quite easy. Quit allowing them to purchase preprepared foods and baked goods.

Pre-prepared foods in the supermarket, such as broiled chicken, cannot be paid for with food stamps. Fast food is generally not covered. TV dinners and microwaveable items, on the other hand, can be paid for with food stamps.

They can be bought here in Indiana. Most of the folks get fat from freezer case items and baked goods, chips.

Fast food is covered here in Indiana. They even advertise it on their windows.
