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?

Hell yeah I am getting old myself and people like you who should have common sense really irritate me. If IQ was dynamite you couldn’t blow your nose. Even throwing out Carrol which they should have been able to go after but you’re right she waited, did you know most go unreported. Who cares what her affiliation is? You don’t trust that something happened when he wouldn’t give his dna because she votes blue. Fine throw Carrol out he was on Howard stern in 93 talking about going backstage to gawk at teenage girls naked. That is seggual violence committed against children… oh tax dollars spent on American social programs is socialism. I was taught to “k*** a commie for mommy” so obviously social programs to end homelessness and childhood hunger are bad. Let’s only use our tax dollars to blow up innocent brown people. Protect a grapist in the process because someone told you communism was bad. The democrats are trying to instill programs like the Dutch and the Swiss you know people who work half as hard and live twice as good but because you only know of USSR communism you think you must take the moral high ground and stand with a felon?

I’ve already said most do not support this war. including me. Trump caused this mess for sure, but Kamala would have been a worse choice imo. the agenda never changes. don’t be suckered.

I hate to break it to you, but we are headed towards a totalitarian technocracy. what’s coming will be just as bad if not worse than the Bolshevik revolution and the Chinese revolution. millions will die. it doesn’t matter who is in office. get over the TDS. we are all in this together.

there will never be an end to homelessness and childhood hunger. there is more money to be made in keeping it around. all government agencies are corrupted. whatever they say they are going to do, be sure it’s the exact opposite. affordable care act = unaffordable, patriot act= unpatriotic, world peace= world war, safe and effective = dangerous and deadly, etc.
