    I’m not saying we should ban these things, I’m just saying we shouldn’t be subsidizing them and purchasing them with public funds. If poor people want to buy this stuff with their own money that’s their right.

      Then start with the ag subsidies, not the tiny joy that poor people can wring from life.

      Ditching subsidies is a start.

      I would tax them into oblivion like cigarettes. Hits the poor first still, but it would shift consumption habits rather than ban them outright.
