It’s always gratifying when the left turn on each other because one of their members starts being sensible. There are fewer more effective redpills.
In this case, liberal do-gooder and unabashed vegan Moby, for reasons of altruism, suggested in a WSJ Op-Ed that congress enact changes to the food stamp program – less for any savings and more for the health benefits of eschewing corn-based junk food and sugary beverages.
Moby, an electronic pop music star who moonlights as a pretentious vegan restaurateur, really stepped in it this week. In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, published Monday, he argues that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (the official government name for food stamps, also known as SNAP) should not cover “junk” and instead should focus on “cheap, healthy foods like beans, vegetables, fruit, and whole grains.”
“Right now, a congressional arm-wrestling match is pitting those who want to preserve funding for SNAP against those who want to gut it,” Moby writes. “As I can attest from my childhood experience, SNAP really does help feed poor people, and no one wants to return to the days when America turned a blind eye to hunger. But it also puts a lot of unhealthful food on America’s plate. Its costs are huge, as are the added costs of treating diabetes, hypertension and other illnesses that poor eating habits cause.”
A man worth millions of dollars is saying individuals who rely on government assistance should not be able to use food stamps to purchase things that are deemed to be unhealthy. This isn’t sitting well with Twitter users.
His net worth shouldn’t be relevant to this discussion since it doesn’t erode his credibility, yet the baying hyenas that are typical Twitterati are outraged (a fat fuck, a dyke and a tranny respectively):

Things Moby's op-ed doesn't address:
1.) Food deserts
2.) The fact that healthy food can be expensive
3.) The fact that some families on SNAP might not have the time/equipment to prepare healthy foods— Parker Molloy (@ParkerMolloy) April 10, 2018

Life would be more difficult for poor people if we made them start using taxpayers’ money more responsibly? The other points are even more inane.
If you avoid places like Whole Foods it is not expensive to eat healthily. Nor is there any great difficulty in preparing non-packaged foods.
If people are chronically dependent on state assistance and engage in behaviors that will increase their individual burden on the state, then of course it’s our business.
Moby’s humble beginnings are also not enough to spare him the opprobrium of his fellow SJWs.
The Food Stamp Program started as a way to help people whose shelves were empty. It certainly helped my family. My mother was a single parent who struggled to make ends meet in wealthy Darien, Conn., during the 1970s. We relied on food stamps until I was 16.
The Eater article scoffs that just because Moby has been there, it doesn’t mean he can lecture the poor or demand they stop poisoning their bodies with state money, whereas the three twitterkin above, who look as if they’ve never suffered hunger, are allowed to defend that which they know little about.
This entire episode has had one silver lining however: once again the people ostensibly defending the poor and downtrodden are left defending the profit obsessed and faceless corporations changing the world for the worse. Highlighting their hypocrisy doesn’t need much effort. As Moby rightfully points out:
Who benefits? Large industrial food producers love a program that obliges the government to pay for anything and everything they produce. Selling soda, candy and heavily processed meats is easy when the government picks up the tab. Under SNAP, the big food conglomerates go to the bank while the poor end up in the emergency room.
But that’s not enough for the left, they defend SNAP as-is because a disproportionate number of recipients are – you guessed it – black and hispanic. They’d rather already rich corporations get taxpayer subsidies than risk alienating major Democrat voting blocs.
Moby had better be careful, if he doesn’t play well with other liberals he could be replaced – after all, vegan artists that sing and like to lecture others are not all that rare.
