I caught a glimpse of this story on CNN a few days ago.
I don't think I'll be adding much to the discussion, but to add anecdote to this topic, my family used to be on food stamps when I was younger. At that age, I don't really recall what it is we bought, and what category of "organic" the foods fell into; I'm just glad I ate daily, and if that means only eating once or twice a day, I was satisfied enough to not question it.
I still think this way to this day, and so long as I can find a way to nourish my hunger first, then I can then expand to think of whether or not the nutrition I'm feeding myself will serve me any better a week from now.
And while I personally don't care what people do with their own allotment of funds, I feel if they know exactly how to maximize their expenditures in grocery, then this really shouldn't be news at all (but with how most persons, whether single or with family, don't even come close to buying only the "healthy stuff", it's for the most part, a reaction to something the general audience at large should have already thought of before the "pauperized hippies" decided to teach us a thing or two).
