Iād say we will save money by forcing them to be healthy. The outrage is about this not being a social safety net but something closer to a minimum income.
I for one fully support a minimum income. Maybe, rather than taking choices away from disadvantaged adults and treating them like children, we should be examining why theyāre disadvantaged in the first place, and fixing the systems that allow that to happen.
Alternately, outlaw unhealthy food entirely, regardless of income. See how well that polls. If youāre really concerned about public health, thatās the logical step.
I canāt tell if this is a serious comment or not; Iām going to just assume that it isnāt, given where weāre at.
