They should dictate what they eat and they should make it the essentials.  It needs to come to a point where people want to work to get off of government aid but in the present we are seeing the opposite.

I wouldn't say that. I know several people who are working multiple jobs, just to keep their heads above water. My cousin for example works 3 jobs at 3 different nursing homes. She works on average 70 hours a week and the poor girl is in the early stages of M.S., but she cannot afford to go on disability. She's a single mother of 3 kids. I've never seen such a hard worker. Just because people are poor, doesn't mean they are lazy.

Double bonus: that diet will reduce Type 2 Diabetes among the "poor" by more than 50%, a health care cost reduction equal to billions in future revenue.

And double the amount of carbon dioxide and methane emissions, thereby ripping a bigger hole in the ozone layer.
