I agree also. They should restrict food stamps for foods like on the WIC program.
If you want cookies, you can still bake cookies with staples you buy like sugar, flour, butter, etc. It's cheaper to bake cookies than buy them generally. No one NEEDS Twinkies and snack cakes, chips, soda and candy. Sorry, but you don't NEED those items. If you're on welfare, get food stamps, you shouldn't be buying luxary goods.
If people can't buy the luxary goods, maybe there'd be more incentive to get off the welfare programs and on their own two feet.
I understand some folks fall on hard times, and need assistance. I'm all for folks getting assistance they need. But again, no one needs luxary goods like candy and chips.
