Is the SNAP Program Really Helping????

In the article “Preventing Obesity”, by Jonathan D. Shenkin, the question is, should soda be excluded from foods food-stamp users can buy? I agree with Mr. Shenkin, people receiving SNAP should not be allowed to buy soda or any kind of candy or sweets with their card. The people that have this benefit should take advantage of it and use it to keep their children and themselves healthy. Just how the WIC program which is given to low income families with children under a serten age or pregnant women, has its foods that cannot be purchased the SNAP program should as well. I have a healthy baby girl and in order to keep it this way in the future she will not be drinking soda or eating candy on a daily basis. Just how the author says soda is not healthy.  It is easy giving your children soda but it isn’t easy finding out your child is obese, has diabetes , heart disease or tooth decay or other health problems.

Being allowed to buy soda and sweets with your food stamp card is tempting. If the SNAP program made it impossible for eligible users to buy these kinds of things you will see a change in the amount of children with health problems. I have an EBT card and I personally don’t buy soda or candy with it I actually use it to buy healthy food that will help me in the long run. I buy baby food for my baby girl and fruit as well. The SNAP is a program that is supposed to be helping families with food not help children get health problems.

FAMILY

Family has to be the number one thing for me. Family comes before anything. My daughter Genesis is who I live for; she shines my day every morning with a smile. She is going to be seven months already and I wish that time would go by much slower.  I have learned to live my life every day as if they were my last one. I will always keep working hard to be a good role model for my little baby girl.

                The day my life made a big turn and changed forever, was when I met the love of my life.  Julio is boy who I couldn’t stop thinking about and wondered if he would ever give me a chance. The day he finally asked me out I hesitated to answer, you know girls that’s how we do! After being together for over a year I knew he was the guy I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Now we have been together for more than three years and we have a beautiful baby we started our own family. We are happy together and we are going to keep working hard to reach our goal.

                One person in my family who I look up to and hope to be when I get older is my mother. My mother is and always has been a hard working lady who never gives up on her goals.  She came here to the U.S from Mexico as an immigrant and worked hard for what she wanted. She is now a citizen and owns her own house. She started from scratch and is doing just great. She raced my sister and me as a single mother and we were always happy and always had everything we needed and went on vacations every year. We have never needed anything from my so called father. Sometimes I do sit down and think about him, wonder where he is or if he even thinks about us, does he care? Then I snap out of it and realize I don’t need him I never have and a have a lot thank to my lovely hard working mother who I love with all my heart.  As a child I always looked up to her but now that I am a mother myself I admire and appreciate her more than before.

                That girl who I thought was so little and I could always bully around to do my chores, is now in college with me and sometimes bullies me around. I see her and remember the good old days. My sister and I grew up together; we are only one year and a half apart so it has been great I have a best friend.

                My family is not perfect or the biggest but we are a happy one. We have our ups and down but we stick together and always work things out.
