Re: Things that stick in your craw

[(Anonymous)]

I single out sugary snacks because they're the simplest things to cut with the most benefit of cutting. The nutritional value of a candy bar or kool-aid or a box of cookies is so much less than even white rice which - while not as good as brown rice - still contains vitamins and minerals (iron, niacin and folic acid are added back in) is more filling and is slower to work through the blood, so highs and crashes aren't as bad.

And at some point I just feel like there should be a limit to what the government subsidizes, and for me that limit is processed sugary foods. I don't see this as being any different than Michellle Obama's school lunch ideas, which weren't perfect - mainly because schools don't cook real food anymore and are - but were a step in the right direction.

Sorry, I can't agree with you. I think I'd rather the government flat out banned (bleached) white flour, white sugar, and hydrogenated oil, so the inability to indulge in them didn't become yet another thing to set the poor apart from everyone else, basically a punishment for being poor that is also being framed as "for their own good," but if it's so good, then let it apply to everyone. And since, what, 60+% of the US population is obese these days, far more people than qualify for SNAP, anyway, it would do everyone a lot of good. Of course, one of the selling points that people often forget about white sugar and flour and hydrogenated oil is that they keep for way longer than their un or minimally processed counterparts, so food distribution would have to be improved a ton to make this work.
