If you had a budget, let's say it's $100 million, and next year the food stamp budget is going to be $94 million, and you say you can't buy Coca-Cola and Pepsi and sugar drinks, they would still have to make their decisions with a little bit less.
But they, on average, are spending 6 percent or – yeah, I think it's about –
No, I think it's about 10% of the dollars are going towards these sugar drinks.
They would have to make decisions to do it.
But I think even something like food stamps, there's a strong argument, oh, people will be hungry.

Our problem is too much food.
There is no one starving in our country.
You know you can get a bag of candy on your food stamps.
And so I've been talking about this for years.
