"An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic," Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said -- Wait. So, starvation of low-income children is her alternative approach to childhood obesity?

@tedpavlic From the article: She added, “If the Biden Administration and Congress want to make a real commitment to family well-being, they should invest in already existing programs and infrastructure at the state level and give us the flexibility to tailor them to our state’s needs.”

So her gripe is that she can't launder EBT money through her donors.

Iowa, historically home of farmers, is not the place I would have expected to see the government gleefully fucking over their seed corn for short term profit.
