If health care is a basic right, should food be a basic right

If health care is a basic right, should food be a basic right?
A public health care option would be for EVERYONE - not just poor people. Should we have a "public food option" for EVERYONE - not just poor people? FOOD STAMPS ARE ONLY FOR POOR PEOPLE.

Trust me, the progressive liberals have taking over the food industry on their list. They want total control over every single basic need that insures life.

I agree. But did poor people actually earn the right to clean drinking water? Or did they earn the right to clean air? Did they earn the right to have their food inspected by the FDA? I don't think so. FACT. It's time to get rid of these socialist programs. NOW.

There is a "food public option." Grocery stores don't prevent you from buying food due to pre-existing conditions
