The governors have given varying reasons for refusing to take part, from the price tag to the fact that the final details of the plan have yet to be worked out. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds ( R) said she saw no need to add money to a program that helps food-insecure youths “when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.” Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen ( R) said bluntly, “I don’t believe in welfare.”
And thats because those "fat" children eat way more fast food than those that don't need the program because it's cheaper and quick. The parent(s) have to work more hours so they can't cook healthy meals as often nor have the income for the high price of groceries.
But Republican politicians don't have the hardware necessary upstairs to root cause issues logically, just acting on incorrect assumptions all around.
