We've lost a very simple concept I was taught when I was 4 years old - Beggars cant be choosers

If you are getting $$ from the government, the government should be able to define exactly what you can spend it on. I recently read an interesting article - if you went back 100 yrs in time and showed people pictures of today's poor, they would be astonished. For thousands of years, poor meant unfed, overworked and skinny. today, poor means fat and out of shape. How can that be? I believe this thread along with school lunch menus are a major contributor.
