People on food stamps should only be given a monthly supply of rice, beans, cereal and milk. They should be provided subsistence and little more. NO more fancy spending sprees for people who won’t work. Do that and watch the food stamp rolls shrink greatly. Of course we won’t though. Our Govt only exists to exacerbate problems, not eliminate them.

It’s actually a good idea you and others have regarding the restrictions to basics. It would be good start

Too many folks on "assistance" buy convenience foods over cheaper and healthier basic items.

Maybe this has something to do with why too may folks on "assistance" are ridiculously obese.

Just get rid of food stamps altogether. It’s a lot easier to find work and live on a budget when you have to.

Post 23 and 26 are correct.

I’m old enough to remember when you did not shop on food stamp days.
