It's all connected.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
When I volunteer, I often go to food deserts, and there are different groups that will actually create these gardens in concrete areas and teach people how to garden.
Why?
Because if they don't have cars, they can't drive to these places with the fresh vegetables.
And what's in walking distance?
Places that have ultra-processed foods, the local fast food places, and even the big stores.
they don't have the fresh vegetables.
So basically, yes, it's the poor people who are having the poor diets.
And SNAP is not making people rich where they just sit around having all of the ultra-processed foods, the sugary drinks, because they want it.
It's a matter of, are we going to starve or are we not going to starve?
You get what you can afford.
And oftentimes, the ultra-processed foods are the items that are less expensive.
And so it really frustrates me when we're talking about the economy.
You have people at the top
who were trying to cut back on the little small pleasures.
So they think as far as sugary drinks and ultra processed foods being purchased with Snap,
really what they should be trying to do if they want to help these folks who are in poverty poverty to be help healthier and not have diabetes perhaps you should stop cutting their medicare stop cutting their medicaid stop cutting their snap benefits okay get them out of the food deserts it's completely performative when i hear people in congress pretend that they want to stop snap from paying for sugary drinks because they actually care about the health of the poor it's garbage
And it's not even just poor people.
