Goal #2: Only basic staple food can be bought with food stamps. No cash back. Ever

If a person on food stamps gets cash back, abuse is happening. The food stamps are not physical stamps. The food stamp amount is stored on an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, like a debit card. When the user buys food the amount is debited from their card immediately.

I agree with you about only staple food being eligible, but who determines the definition of basic staple food?
