I think that if someone has food stamps, they should be able to buy any food they want.

Nutritional food. Not junk food or soda or candy.

It’s like you’re purposely hurting the people that don’t know how to make food

Soda and candy isn't cool. Nothing to do with making food. People need to start taking charge of their own lives. If you don't know how to cook, learn. It's not hard to cook basic things.

But since you feel so strongly about them having whatever they want, you can def buy them all the candy and soda you want to. Just do it with your money, not mine. I am fine with you buying them a cartfull of crap. As long as it's not foodstamps, which is money my taxes go to.

I’m not the type however, to take away from others just because I might not decide to participate in buying something.

I think taking away peoples option to buy soda and candy with welfare is a good thing. Again, YOU can buy them all the candy and soda you want. Feel free.

If I give people money, it had conditions. You definitely don't have to put conditions on the money YOU give to someone. In fact, you can give you whole paycheck to someone and let them buy soda and candy. Good on ya.

But I don't want to do that. And many others don't. Nothing about the food stamp program prohibits you from helping out and donating your money for soda and candy. Go the the store, and when you notice someone paying with food stamp card, then be sure to offer them some of your money. I am perfectly fine with you doing that.

However, I don't want my money that goes to help them out, to go to soda and candy. They can live without soda and candy.
