Kristina said:It is their body. It is their choice to be healthy or not. Plain and simple. When I got food stamps I chose to make healthy food choices for me and my children. I also would shop and discount stores, use coupons, etc. to make things stretch as far as possible. But the government has absolutely no right to tell me what I can and cannot put in my body. If the argument is that since the government is providing it, they should be able to dictate it, well, number one, it is the taxpayers that provide that money, the hard working middle class to be exact. Second, that is what government SHOULD do, is be FOR THE PEOPLE.
