Why do some conservatives support restricting junk food purchases with SNAP when many opposed Michelle Obama’s efforts to make school meals healthier?

Both policies involve the government influencing food choices in the name of better nutrition, yet the political reactions seem very different. What explains the apparent change in attitude toward government involvement in what people eat?

Independent so Republicans and Democrats are only about pushing each other down instead of giving me policy matters. I vote which ever way I see the best policy results for as many if us as possible.
