      Why is it in our interest to pay for food that causes obesity and health issues?

        I want you to consider what you would do if you had $300 per month to buy food. How often would you use any of that money to buy soda and candy? Would you do it on a regular? Or would you do it just for special occasions to lift your spirits when things were bad?

        This isn’t about health this is about punishing the poor for being poor.

          I would spend very little of it on candy and soda, but not every person makes the same choices

              It wouldn’t interfere in your choices because you didn’t buy those things

            That doesn’t give anyone the right to choose for them.

              If I’m paying for it, I have the right to vote for this law. It affects me

            So you agree that there is some amount of acceptable spending on sweets.

          I would buy it literally never, because I already never buy it, because I know it makes me fat and depressed.

          If I’m paying for it, it’s my interest. If it’s your personal decision, then do what you want

        Then start with ag subsidies. But that’s if you’re serious about fixing the problem and don’t just want to punish poor people for being poor.

            But mostly fuck poor people. Since that’s the most immediate priority.

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.
