Has to be done on the national level to be practical.
People on welfare should be more accountable than people who are not. Why should the taxpayers have to fund unhealthy behavior or wasteful spending? Welfare recipients should be saving their junk food and gambling money to fix their cars and pay their rent.
The food stamp program is administered on the state level. Makes sense for this law to be enacted at the state level.
Soda, energy drinks, cookies, chips, candy, kool aid, box drinks, are not FOOD. They should not be on the food stamp purchase list. Should be more like WIC specific nutritious items. And coupons can be use to cut cost and make the food stamp dollars go further.
