MSNBC's Schultz Blasts SNAP Diet as 'Everything that Makes America Fat,' Claimed There Was No Fat In SNAP Diet Last Week

Ed Schultz blasted Republicans on the June 15 Ed Show for “sticking it” to “American families who desperately need” the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). In an interview with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) later in the program, Schultz griped that there’s “no fat in food stamps, as I see it.”

Well, apparently good ol’ Ed can’t stay on message for more than one week, as the bombastic MSNBC host berated Republicans again for cuts to SNAP on Saturday – but this time because the SNAP diet contains “everything that makes America fat.” Schultz’s tirade came in response to a Republican congressional staffer’s success with the SNAP Challenge, a movement by the Food and Research Action Center that challenges Americans to live on a $4.50 per day food budget for one week.
