Back a million years ago when I worked in a grocery, it would drive me crazy when peeople would come in and buy a bunch on junk with the stamps. Not too long ago a gas station put up a big banner saying "now accepting ebt." No idea what you can get there as it's all some, candy bars, and beef jerky.

Well it's a "more bang for your buck" thing isn't it?

You can buy more cheap stuff with lots of calories than the stuff that's good for you but costs more so you get less of it.

That aside I  find it interesting that when Michelle Obama suggested school lunches be healthier she was vilified for doing parents jobs, trying to tell people how to eat, etc.  but that people keep talking about how people who get food stamps should be forced to by healthy foods only.

Odd dichotomy to me.
