If you are speaking of “food stamps” then I would agree in part. I dont think stuff like sugary soft drinks and junk food should be included. But the minute you try to establish any guidelines, the Food Police cry will be heard loud and clear. See Sarah Palin.

As for baby formula, are you just as concerned that YOUR money goes to subsidize Big Agri/business and Big Pharma and that big corporations like Exxon pay no US federal income tax?

Food Stamps? We have “Link” debit cards that are replenished once a month. I think most states have gone to such a system to lessen fraud. I think there are groups trying to establish limits, but as you said the Big Players in the food industry depend on that money. There is no more junk food in schools, that was a difficult battle. It’s a rotten circle.
