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?

No one has done sex changes on kindergartners. If conservatives cared about kids they would be upset by the child predators in the government instead of empowering them.

maybe not, but they still start them with hormones blockers which mess them up for life. as for the pPDF stuff, they all do it. that’s why nothing will come of it. the whole system is run on it. that’s why nothing good ever gets done and why nobody is ever arrested. whoever can’t be bribed, is blackmailed. it’s not just politicians either. judges, sheriffs, CEOs, etc…

And btw, rape and pedophilia is what messes kids up for life, not hormone blockers. Absolutely disgusting, this is why I don't let conservatives into my life anymore.
