Michelle Obama USDA's Healthier US Schools Challenge

Dear Mrs Obama,   I have been very excited to hear about your new idea to promote a healthier America for our kids.   I have an idea for you that might help. I currently work at a grocery store in Seattle WA. the store I work at is in a very poor part of town, where almost every customer I have is either paying with W.I.C. or Food Stamps and as we well know W.I.C. is set up for a for certain items selected for women and children and almost always very healthy items.   On the other hand Food Stamps are unfortunately not in the same category as WIC, I purpose that junk food such as candy, cookies, chips,pop,frozen sweets, fresh donuts, etc.not be allowed when using Food Stamps.   Every day all day long children and adults are using their EBT cards to purchase unhealthy food selections as I stated above if the adults anent buying them the kids are. If you have the opportunity to go to a grocery store in your area or come visit mine you would be shocked and appalled at what is going on.   We need to hit these areas of concern first and foremost.. I hope this helps with helping all children.   Thank you, J.M .AOLWebSuite .AOLPicturesFullSizeLink { height: 1px; width: 1px; overflow: hidden; } .AOLWebSuite a {color:blue; text-decoration: underline; cursor: pointer} .AOLWebSuite a.hsSig {cursor: default}
