To the Editor,
The Iowa House Health and Human Services Committee recently took up a bill (House File 3) that proposes sweeping changes to SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as Food Stamps). I could not believe one of the changes proposed by HF3 is to no longer allow low-income individuals and families products like cheese, canned fruits and vegetables, soup, jelly, and meat (to name a few). Meat? People in need don’t eat meat?
