Michelle Obama or Mayor Bloomberg wanted to end obesity simply restrict EBT card purchases only to healthy food items similar to the WIC program.

Wouldn't you LOVE to ask them that question on national tv?

WIC subsidies can be used for milk, cheese, and all kind of vitamin-fortified processed grain gunk, as well as baby foods, formula, and so on. None of this stuff (except single-ingredient baby foods) is any “healthier” than steak and crab legs: it’s just cheaper.

If you give people money or the equivalent, you simply can’t control what they do with it.
