According to a 2007 report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, "no evidence exists which indicates that food stamp benefits directly contribute to poor food choices and negative dietary outcomes, such as obesity."

Anyone who has ever had a part-time job in a grocery store and watched buggies full of Ding-Dongs, Twinkies and Ho-Hos being paid for with Food Stamps knows this is true.

“no evidence exists which indicates that food stamp benefits directly contribute to good food choices and positive dietary outcomes.”

Normally a liberal would want to manipulate the social norms
to bring about that “positive” benefit.
Why the silence?
