TDS: Orange Man Bad Taking Junk Food Away From Snap Recipients

Seriously, this could just be titled “Democrats Are Against Everything Trump Is For”

From the link, which was originally in the People’s Republik Of Chicago Tribune

Major changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, courtesy of President Donald Trump and his GOP-controlled Congress, have arrived across the nation. The reforms to the food assistance program for the needy come via the 2025 “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”

The law mandates that SNAP recipients aged 18 to 64, and parents who don’t have children under 14 must document that they are working or volunteering for a total of 80 hours a month. If they don’t, they risk losing benefits.

Remember when Dems were behind Bill Clinton’s “workfare”?

In Indiana and other states, other reforms of SNAP should delight the Fat Nag. The Fat Nag, that is, yours truly. I have railed for decades against sugar, fast foods and other edible evils. My alter ago has lectured, pleaded and begged my readers to run for their lives from Doritos, Ding Dongs and Sprite.

America is drowning in fat. In 2023, around 40% of adults were defined as obese, according to data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

So, you might conclude that the Nag is delighted that residents of Indiana, Iowa and three other states are now forbidden from using SNAP food assistance for soda, candy and other foods, after waivers approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that began Jan. 1.

Not.

If it was a President Harris doing this Laura Washington would be in favor of it.

At least 18 states will enact federal waivers prohibiting the purchase of certain foods this year. The new restrictions vary from state to state but are being promoted by the Trump administration’s Make America Healthy Again campaign (MAHA). It’s “part of a push by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to urge states to strip foods regarded as unhealthy from the $100 billion federal program – long known as food stamps – that serves 42 million Americans,” the Associated Press reports. SNAP benefits are provided through an electronic transfer, like a debit card, and accepted at most grocery stores. (snip)

However, the Nag is not cheering these new SNAP restrictions. In fact, the Nag is incensed. I cannot abide this so-called MAHA ploy. It is a sham, a fraud and just another Trump “policy” that is just so much political flim-flam.

Why? Because Laura doesn’t like RFK, Jr. And because Trump is fat. And

This ban on sweet SNAP purchases is being handed down from Trump’s malevolent mountain. It is aimed at punishing low-income, struggling families.

This is just pure batshit crazy Trump Derangement Syndrome. There is no actual, adult, reasonable reason for taking the side of letting SNAP recipients purchase shit “food” with their benefits. Just TDS. MAGA (Make Asylums Great Again).
