I thought about it a while, but I decided to leave all meats off the list. I want to get them OFF of food stamps. If they want meat, they can do janitorial work at the schools or pick up trash in their neighborhoods.

It will never happen. It would only add more nanniness to the nanny state, as well as create nightmares for retailers and their normal paying customers. Existing stamp quotas in dollars work about as well as anything to encourage frugality. USDA surveys from the Bush II era show that stamp recipients include fewer, not more junk foods in their food orders than paying customers do.
