Zz Food Stamps: Over 50% Spent On Lethal Animal And Fish Flesh Eggs And Dairy



In the US, the Farm Bill passed in January with its cuts in food stamps for the poor. Columbus Public Radio reported in 2013 that 50% of food stamp purchases are used to buy animal and fish flesh and dairy products. These are unhealthy foods which cause
all taxpayers to have to support their medical costs from heart attacks, strokes, food poisoning, many kinds of cancer, arthritis,
kidney breakdown, etc.

Vegetarians and vegan taxpayers do not want to be forced to subsidize animal murder, human disease, environmental hazards, energy waste, and famine associated with the livestock economy,
any more than a Jew or Muslim wants to be taxed for the pig flesh industry or a Hindu for slaughterhouses in general.

Allowing food stamp purchases only for fruits and vegetables such as lentil burgers, lima, green, navy, and other beans, potatoes, rice, barley, peas, pumpkin pies, sesame seeds, nuts, squash, tomatoes,
mango, orange, apple and hundreds of other juices,
ice creams and milks made from rice, coconut, almonds,
cashes, and soy, falafel, tempeh, tofu, thousands
of other nonviolent foods will reduce animal
agony, human disease, and help reforest the planet. It will allow expansion rather than contraction of the program. By cutting the
half of the budget which goes for toxic food, tens of millions can receive more help.

The tens of trillions the US Government has spent on criminal, stupid, violent wars are the reason money for the poor has not been
available.
