We let govt decide where people can spend food-stamps and what they can buy.
Oh wait - we don't - there's not nearly the same level of govt control wrt food.
- rgraham 16y agoThat depends. Do agricultural subsidies count as control?
- anamax 16y ago> That depends. Do agricultural subsidies count as control? Even the most extreme interpretation of govt food control doesn't approach the amount of govt control in primary public education. (I find that folks who talk about various subsidies tend to overstate them if they're opposed and understate them if they support. Note how that lets each side claim that the other is lying. Curious that they never notice that they're both correct about that.) Or, are you suggesting that all amounts of control are the same?
