What they should do is Categorize what the funds are drawn from on the card.

i.e....if you have $100 on the card, $30 can be used to purchase Meat, $25 for fruits and vegetables, $25 for Dairy, $20 for Grains. Once you spend your allotment on meat, you can't purchase any more. It would make people eat a more balance meal and stop rolling through with that same $100 on just Lobsters and Steaks

I know this is simplistic but you get my point,

"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
