I doubt the grocery chains would ever let it happen, but now that food stamps are being replaced with a debit card like system, UPC codes on items could be used to approve only certain items with an assistance card. Of course the argument they would use would be that the cost of this would be passed on to consumers like that would be a greater evil than passing on the abuse to taxpayers.
