It's a person's prerogative to spend their benefits how they choose, particularly if they are single. I doubt highly that anyone with a family would persist in shopping at specialty stores if the majority of their food money were coming from government assistance. Fact is, you can still eat well and eat healthy shopping at regular grocery stores for much less money.
