Anonymous,
I fear that you may have missed the point of the article. It's about having *healthy* food options restricted. I understand your concern for junk food. But having healthIER, organic food as banned food is just silly, especially since healthier food makes for a better diet --> healthier person --> less of a drag on the social services system.
Kudos to you for starting your own business, by the way. Not everyone has the capability to do that right now. Some people are planning on doing that in the future, but can't for now. And many of those people, for the mean time, are on food stamps because they can't afford the regular costs of food. I actually just started my own business as well, and I used to be on the "stamps". Give folks a chance. Don't criminalize/judge just because they are poor. It could happen to anyone.
You missed the point.
