    I canā€™t tell if this is a serious comment or not; Iā€™m going to just assume that it isnā€™t, given where weā€™re at.

      Iā€™d 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 theyā€™re 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 youā€™re really concerned about public health, thatā€™s the logical step.
