Limit food stamps to staples only. Meat, bread, rice, beans, vegetables, fruit etc. What do their welfare momma’s have to do all day beside take care of their damn kids?
I agree with you and there definitely should be some limits on what KIND of meat, bread, rice and other staples one can purchase under this program. I think overly processed foods should be prohibited from purchase when on the food stamp program. No prepackaged meals from the freezer, no "Lunchables", "Fruit by the Foot", and no junk food of ANY KIND should be allowed.
If the acceptance of "government" money allows the government to dictate what is done in folks' lives, then why not here? Why is it that the government will dictate, for example, to a school to allow certain things against that school's principles, all because that school accepts "government" money but they won't do the same for those on food stamps?
But, let's face it. The choice for those on food stamps to purchase healthier foods has ALWAYS been there; they choose not to exercise that option. I think it's time that option becomes "no option" and gets limited to just the staples, as you stated.
