Wisconsin Assembly approves junk food stamps bill
A bill aimed at encouraging food stamp recipients in Wisconsin to eat healthier by limiting the amount of benefits that could be spent on junk food won approval from the state Assembly on Tuesday.
The bill, sponsored by Republican Rep. Dean Kaufert of Neenah, would require people enrolled in Wisconsin's food stamps program, or FoodShare, to spend at least two-thirds of their monthly benefits on designated items such as milk, bread and vegetables. They could spend their remaining benefits on any authorized food. The measure, which does not define junk food, cleared the Assembly on a 68-26 vote and now heads to the Senate.
Kaufert said recipients should use food stamps responsibly.
"I am not banning anything or changing the eligibility," Kaufert told lawmakers. "But we should provide some guidelines when it's paid by taxpayer dollars."
I see this all the time at the store -- most of the people buy well but there are those that get abject crap. A testament to how resilient the human body really is...
