RED STATE–Being on public assistance shouldn’t be convenient or comfortable. It shouldn’t be unlimited. The purpose of a public assistance program, like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, should be to provide a minimal and temporary aid; as the saying goes, a hand up, not a hand out. What’s more, where food assistance is concerned, it should be limited to food of proven nutritional value. Not candy, not sugary drinks, not prepared foods.
