Aren't food stamps to ensure a person has food? I don't feel a person who is obviously well fed or over fed should be getting as much. We need to find way to cut entitlements and this could be one potential cut. Wouldn't it be better for the person to be at a healthy weight to also reduce the cost to the healthcare system.
When it comes to the government controlling what people eat is say no. But if you go to the government for the handout/food stamps then I feel the government should have some control. If you gave your child an allowance and they just spent it all on candy and started putting on a lot of weight would you not step in and control how they spend the allowance?
You want complete freedom get out and earn it, you want help from the government then you are beholden to the government.
A human can go 3 weeks without food before death occurs.
