food stamps and government assistance are helpful and useful. however, peolple do not get what they are deserved. lower income families have to go through a process of waiting just to know if they are eligible. i agree with christopher greenslate he explains how the government does not give people enough. many people who are eligible do not receive them. i feel people should be able to choose with they want to eat. its their lives, you should not try to stop people from eating what they choose to. there should be educational classes about health and what these products can do to the body. everyone has different needs and health issues. soda is a drink , it should able to be purchased with food stamps. for example, the soda ginger ale helps people. so imagine someone with a low income and sick not being able to buy a soda and thats all they need.
