Arizona Republicans want to ban the use of federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funds to purchase candy and soda, but critics say their overly-broad proposal would bar low-income families from buying things like flavored water and granola bars.
I recall when NY wanted to put a restriction on selling containers of soda larger than ~20oz. Republicans were up in arms about how this was restricting freedom. Because freedom requires a 64oz bug gulp.
Of course, poor people don’t deserve freedom.
