If they're demanding someone else provide them the funding to make those purchases, they're not living their own lives.
There should be. If someone is using their own money, buy what you want. If the money one uses comes as a result of another person being forced to fund it, those receiving shouldn't be shocked if those forced to fund it have a say.
The responsibility of providing oneself with food belongs to the one eating it. If they don't take the responsibility to do so, they shouldn't be shocked when those of us forced to do it for them say something about it.
Healthy food is expensive, I pay almost three times more for my hormone free and organic food items. I think it is honorable for the government to want people to eat better and can see the reasoning in the act, but I also feel it is a nanny state bill. I would probably have voted against it if I were a Congress person. Sugar is vital for brain health, and is needed in moderation.

I think you ought to forfeit some of those freedoms if you aren't paying taxes and are using taxpayer money.
Giving welfare recipients unlimited freedoms is why we are 20T in debt. They have 7-10 kids, pay zero for them, and stick the taxpayer with the bill. That isn't sustainable.
Those needs can be met without the government being involved at all. Do you believe there are people receiving food stamps where the sole reason that need exists is due to the choices that person made in life?
My husband thought so, too, until I made him kale chips, and tofu can also be prepared in a way that you would like it.
There's nothing wrong with GMOs. Organic has shown to be any better either.

Now what about forcing school kids who get free lunches to eat healthy foods? Good idea of nanny state bill?
There's an easy solution if someone receiving benefits doesn't like what is expected of them. Don't demand the help. However, don't demand the help then get made when those forced to pay it tell you something you don't like.
If they're buying sure
But when they're parasites they don't have a right on how tax dollars get spent.
Can't buy that here, not sure why it's different.

As an aside is it possible for basically anyone, let alone someone on food stamps, in America to have a diet that lacks sugar?

unfortunately I have something that prevents me from seeing the good side of that.
It doesn't criminalize anyone. It tells those that demand someone else provide to them what they should be providing themselves that if they demand that help there are rules they have to go by. In other words, it gives them an option. 1) Accept the help and the rules that go along with it or 2) STFU and provide for yourself. That those demanding help don't like the rules is irrelevant. That shouldn't be a factor. The end users don't get to make the rules just abide by them.

I'm sure you would have voted against it. You're a Liberal and Liberals believe that it's OK to force one group to provide for another and let the group on the receiving end have a say in the rules. Those potentially on the receiving end have a choice. 1) Accept the rules or 2) Don't demand someone else be forced to feed you.
Isn't it sad how so many believe those demanding others support them have more of a say in how things are done than the ones forced to fund it?
