Iowa Republicans want to ban SNAP beneficiaries from buying meat, white bread, and American cheese

  • Iowa Republicans proposed a bill that would drastically limit what foods SNAP recipients can buy.
  • People wouldn't be able to buy grocery staples like white bread, American cheese, fresh meat, and more.
  • Critics argue the bill would further burden low-income people who are already food-insecure.
Iowa Republicans are proposing sweeping changes to the state's food assistance program — including banning beneficiaries from buying grocery staples like meat, American cheese, or flour.

A bill co-sponsored by 39 Republican state legislators would limit those getting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to buying food on a more restrictive list from a separate program intended for pregnant women and children.

SNAP recipients wouldn't be able to buy a variety of foods, including white grain bread, buns with added nuts or seeds, white rice, pasta sauce, canned fruits or soups, baked beans, cheese slices, butter, or flour.

They would instead be limited to foods approved for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program.

The foods people can purchase in the WIC program are much more restrictive than those allowed in SNAP. That's because WIC is designed to complement SNAP, and is meant to provide necessary nutrition specifically for — as the name suggests — pregnant women, new mothers, and infants, according to Michelle Book, the president and CEO of Food Bank of Iowa.
 
There was a state several years back that wanted to ban being able to buy spices, condiments, sharp cheddar cheese (but not mild even tho it is the same price in most places that don't have gourmet cheeses), certain types of fish and bulk items. So for example they could buy a 1lb bag of beans, but not a 3lb bag of beans even tho it was cheaper and could save money. They basically wanted poor folks to have to spend more time shopping, shop more often, and when you rely on public transportation or other people for rides, that can be an added burden. I recall discussing this on twitter at the time. One of the people shared how women struggle to find stuff that is acceptable, having to put stuff back and go back and forth, spending hours in the store. I think here there are labels on the shelves that state if something is wic eligible.

It's all in the game right? The same people who are trying to take stuff away from the poor are benefiting massively for being in office from bribes, I'm sorry, lobbyists and other benefits, these people who spend Millions trying to get elected for jobs that pay a couple hundred thousand are the real Crooks

 
There are more poor whites in Iowa than there are blacks.
they'll be hurting more of their own.
lets see how they like it.
It would be enforced like dress codes. Dress codes are used to exclude people they don't want in their establishments, white dude in sweats, no problem, Black person in sweats, sorry sir sweats aren't allowed. Minorities will be scrutinized, while whites will be allowed to buy all the seeded bread they want because the clerk just didn't notice.
 
From diary and links in comments below:

This comes on top of the end of free school meals for kids and Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds rejecting $30 million in federal childcare money. Great times for struggling families in Iowa and across the country.

One of the reasons Reynolds even had access to this potential $30 million in funding was because Iowa is “eligible,” for that money. According to Axios, Iowa was one of “only 25 stated deemed eligible.” According to Common Good Iowa, 1 in 7 Iowan families cannot “actually meet a basic-needs budget.” That’s paying rent, proving food and clothing and baseline health care for themselves and their children.

TRUTH!
 
And continue to get re-elected. Republicans voters are gluttons for punishment.

They often think they are hurting black folks and democrats though. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/food-stamp-cuts-race_n_5b1fcdcfe4b0bbb7a0e19c42 According to the recent census they are 12-13% black. Info from 2014 showed dems 40%, GOP 41% Independent 19%, but all the leadership is GOP.

Race and ethnicity (White alone 61.6%; Black alone 12.4%; Hispanic 18.7%; Asian alone 6%; American Indian and Alaska Native alone 1.1%; Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone 0.2%; Some Other Race alone 8.4%; Two or More Races 10.2%).


 
It aint being faggots that make them do this type of bullshit. It is their weak feeble christian minds that do. When you believe in utter fuckshit, then this type of stuff is normal.
The wild part about this is that these faggots(I don't mean literal faggots such as @lightbright ) is that they are so far removed from Christianity and don't even follow the laws of their own religion!
