Interesting story out of Florida dealing with the people who use food stamps. A bill is being pushed to ban people from using food stamps for the purchase of snacks and sweets. Of course some in Florida are against the idea claiming that the government shouldn't tell people what they can and can't eat. According to clickorlando:

A Florida lawmaker is pushing a bill that would ban the use of food stamps to purchase snacks and sweets, such as cookies and cakes.

Republican State Sen. Ronda Storms, of Valrico, says her goal is to stop a small percentage of recipients who misuse food stamps.

Her bill would also require food stamp recipients to take state-run classes on healthy eating and how making your own baked goods is cheaper than store-made sweets.

Critics say the government shouldn't be telling people what to eat.

Democratic Rep. Gwyndolen Clarke-Reed, of Pompano Beach, also says the educational provision is demeaning to minorities and the poor by implying they aren't smart enough to make their own choices.

What do you think about this legislation in Florida? Would you like to see Texas put more restrictions on those who use food stamps?
