Empower people to make healthy choices removing the ability to purchase unhealthy, unneeded foods with SNAP(food stamps)

Republican or Democrat, one thing we can all agree on is that candy and soda companies do not need government subsidies. Yet that is exactly what is happening thanks to unregulated food stamps. This petition does not make any statement about those that need government assistance, but only what the assistance should be used on. Also that the program needs to take into account that not all foods, i.e. cereals, are created equal and some are more candy then a healthy breakfast. We propose a ban on the use of food stamps to buy candy, soda, sugary drinks, snack cakes and other unhealthy foods and to bring the eligible food items more in line with the standards established by the WIC program or the USDA's MyPlate.
