Right, but if you dispute the definition of "food" to be anything but exactly what it currently is, that's poor shaming.
How about take away soda, candy and gum but add toilet paper, soap and diapers and call it "necessity stamps" or something. I'm all for that. Stop punishing healthy families on the program who have less $$ so other families can have soda. Use all the program money for more important necessities and actual food.
