I tend to be of the opinion that food stamps should be only for basic food items. Things like rice, beans, flour, yeast, salt, sugar, generic-only canned vegetables, canned beans, frozen vegetables, eggs, milk, and cheese. No meat, no fresh or specialty-brand anything. Stuff to help you eeek by with your basic nutritional needs met. Food stamps should have some amount of stigma and hassle associated with their use. Then again, I am more familiar and comfortable with community foodbanks than foodstamps.
