Uhhhhhh... It already does. Snap changed from actual stamps to a digital card that declines any purchase that does not fit in the categories that justify a snap purchase. I worked a couple of years ago with a non-profit org that helped the needy, and I distinctly remember being at walmart with someone was buying groceries, when they used their snap card the payment covered everything but junk food and the person I was with had to pay with their own money for the rest of their things.

In short RFK is working on stopping something that never has ever existed.

These same assholes were the ones freaking out when Michelle Obama was trying to get healthier food for school lunches and making up shit like "Turning Cookie Monster into Veggie Monster" to get mad at.

Many right-wingers don't care about words or truth or consistency. They just want to hurt their out-group.

Heaven forbid someone enjoys their life. I'd rather pay for this than billionaire tax cuts and the bloated military budget.

We can do both. A stopped clock is right twice per day. It would be a good idea, except that you already cant buy junk food with food stamps....
