For all those who complain about a cut in SNAP benefits during the shutdown I want you to read these FACTS. Out of 30 categories, sweetened beverages #2, prepared desserts #5, salty snacks #10. Candy came in at 15. All these are purchased more than eggs, soups, beans, rice and baby foods. It's long past time we put restrictions on SNAP benefits to help fight the obesity crisis facing this country, especially among children!!!!
