Food stamps is a great program. But how can it not skeev you when there are 2 350 pounders in line ahead of you with 4 dozen cupcakes, heavy breathing due to caloric anticipation, and the smell of diabetes in the air?
One of the worst things I've seen was a mom with fucking Mountain Dew in a sippie cup, feeding her 2 year old. That's child abuse.
"Mountain Dew Mouth"
It's disgusting, and rampant in inner cities and rural areas, although suburban areas aren't great either. We had a big ass chart in the dental office that listed various drinks from neutral (water) to the highest acidity (battery acid). Guess who one is closest to battery acid brehs. Children shouldn't be drinking that shit, or just about any pop IMO. Especially because most children have poor or average oral hygiene.
We saw a kid who had cavities in nearly 20 baby teeth. I talked to the mom about it and she told me straight to my face that her kid didn't drink pop or eat candy, so there's no way she had so many cavities. I wanted to just ask her if she thought I was stupid.
One of the best things about Obamacare is that it opens access to dental care for nearly every child in the US (that doesn't live in a red state at least). But I'd love to see preventive reach beyond the dental office, IE get pop out of schools and tax that shit.
