OK, a few days ago I told you that a Tennessee lawmaker wanted to change the rules regarding the use of the food stamp program. She wanted to make things like cake, ice cream, soda and candy a no-no.
As it turns out that lawmaker has pulled the bill. After doing research she found that in order to change the law the original law would literally need an act of congress.
I guess the people of Tennessee who use the program can continue to buy their goodies and leave the healthy food in the store...oh well.
