State To Pass Law Banning Of Buying Junk Food With Food Stamps. Do You Support This Law?

In a controversial move, the state of Maine is once again seeking the approval of the federal government to ban the use of food stamps to purchase certain types of food. State health officials claim that too much candy and soft drinks are leading to significant health care costs for the estate.
Mary Mayhew, the commissioner of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, says that the State is facing an obesity epidemic, and wants to prohibit the use of food stamps to buy certain foods.
