I’d like to see food stamps tied directly to the farmers by way of farmer’s markets. One good idea I see locally is double deals given by the local farmer’s market.

Up to $40 food stamps buys double the fresh fruit, veggies, eggs, and meat. They say its bringing in a surprising number of people who aren’t the typical food stamp crowd.

If it were up to me I would restrict food stamps so they wouldn’t buy crap like chips, candy, cake, soda etc.

Never. It’s far too logical.
