BroadwaybabytoMAHA just announced that states will be able to prohibit people from purchasing junk food with SNAP. They claim this will make people healthier. That it’ll force them to make better choices. It won’t. Why? They aren’t addressing the privilege involved with healthy eating I’m all for a healthy diet. I only consume whole and unprocessed foods myself, and even did a year as a raw vegan to try and reduce my overall inflammation. It was an eye opening experience that I was only able to do because of my privilege.In a perfect world, we would all be eating the healthiest and most nutrient dense food available. But we don’t live in a perfect world. Whole foods are more expensive, take longer to prepare and require more effort than “junk food”People who are disabled, elderly, living in poverty and/or food deserts sometimes have no other choice. Fed is better than dead. This latest restriction will result in people going hungry. Kids starving because their parents can’t make them a healthy meal.You can’t cut off an entire category of food without addressing the various systemic barriers to healthy eating. There needs to be a plan to lower the cost of fresh whole foods. They need to be made more available, cheaper and in easy to prepare options.People need a basic living wage to ensure they have the time to shop, prep and cook. If you’re working two full time jobs just to survive; you can’t possibly be cooking from scratch every day.Even if all those goals were accomplished, there are still people who rely on junk food for survival. There are still people who may want it as an occasional treat. Banning it altogether sends a message that poor & disabled people don’t “deserve” treats.This isn’t about making people healthier. It’s about blaming them for their illnesses. If we blame diet and lifestyle, we can feel better about not treating people when they get sick. It’s eugenics and it’s on full display.There are so many better ways to encourage people to eat healthier. We should have universal healthcare, a basic income, childcare and affordable housing. If basic needs are met, healthy living becomes much easier.Finally, disability is no one’s fault. Healthy living can help, but you can’t wellness your way out of chronic illness. It doesn’t work that way, and the only reason to convince people otherwise is a desire to label disabled people expendable. We are not expendable.<a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#disability</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/FoodInsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FoodInsecurity</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/snap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#snap</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ableism</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/rfkjr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rfkjr</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/hhs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hhs</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#chronicillness</a>

BroadwaybabytoI’m sick of governments that ban things to “fix” a problem while refusing to address the underlying cause. Abortion bans don’t fix the birth rate.Junk food bans don’t fix obesity. Vaccine bans won’t fix chronic illness. Mask bans won’t fix crime. These are just a few examples of things that this administration has banned in the name of making people healthier/happier. In every case they’ve chosen to ignore the obvious systemic issues that are contributing to the problems their bans are trying to “fix”Declining birth rates aren’t due to abortion bans. They’re due to high cost of living, lack of affordable childcare, lack of universal healthcare and climate change. A lot of people look at the current state of the world and can’t see any reason to subject a child to it.People have always accessed abortions. They will always access abortions. The only thing that a ban accomplishes is restricting safe access. Infant and maternal mortality actually increase whenever abortion is banned. People die.Banning folks on SNAP from purchasing junk food won’t do anything for chronic illness or obesity. Why? Because there’s systemic food insecurity. People are living in such severe poverty that junk food is all they can access or afford.Food deserts are a very real problem. People are living in places without access to a kitchen or the means to store bulk food. People with disabilities may lack the physical ability to cook from scratch.In many cases the healthier option costs twice as much, takes double the effort to prepare and gives you a fraction of the calories. Banning an entire category of food without addressing systemic issues is a recipe to force people to starve.We need to subsidize fresh produce and meats. We need more money going to community food banks and programs like meals on wheels. We need to give everyone a liveable wage so they have the time and energy to cook healthy meals.Vaccine bans and restrictions are a legit threat to public health. They’re done under the guise of “safety” despite the fact that vaccines have largely eradicated diseases which used to kill and disable in large numbers.Once again, the answer isn’t to restrict access. It’s to provide free vaccination to everyone while also ramping up other public health efforts. We should have clean air benchmarks in public spaces, masks in healthcare and paid time off. We should stop normalizing sicknessLastly there’s mask bans. Some places in the US are actually banning a medical device designed to protect people. They say it’s to stop crime, despite the fact that there’s ample evidence showing sunglasses hide your identity better than a mask.Once again they fail to address the systemic issues with disease spread and with crime. Want to tackle crime? Start with guns. Then work towards addressing the vast inequity within society Want to tackle infectious disease spread? Encourage masking. Make respirators free!Each problem has a slightly different solution, but the overall tone is the same. Provide for the people. Give them basic human rights like healthcare, affordable housing, food and water, education and childcare. Those things will accomplish more than any ban <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#poverty</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vaccines</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/abortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#abortion</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/snap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#snap</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/masks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#masks</a>
