Iowa proposes to ban low-income people from using SNAP benefits to buy meat.
Iowa bill proposes to ban low-income people from using SNAP benefits to buy meat. Depriving food-insecure people of one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. What is up with this? https://t.co/qSW0MC0no6

Remarkable. Hard to decipher what the rationale for this is except a DAVOS and WEF-inspired famine. Chris Clayton at the Ag Policy Blog writes,
A bill introduced earlier this month in the Iowa Legislature -- the country's top red meat-producing state -- would ban people on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) from buying meat and a lot of other typical grocery foods as well.
The bill, House File 3, has 39 co-sponsors in the Iowa House and is led by House Speaker Pat Grassley, a Republican. Pat Grassley is the grandson of Iowa U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, the longest-serving member of the Senate Agriculture Committee -- the committee that writes the farm bill, including SNAP rules, in Congress.
Under the bill, SNAP recipients would be restricted to buying foods that are approved under a separate USDA food-aid program, the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. WIC requires aid recipients to buy from a specific list of approved items that includes staples such as infant formula, cereal, milk, bread, juices, canned foods and baby foods.
