There should be restrictions on the types of food that is purchased with food stamps. They should only buy healthy and nutritional foods, not Oreos and soda. If we removed and/or cut back the ability to purchase sugar snack such as cookies and bakery foods, soda, and perhaps even brand names we would cut the budget in half. They would still be healthy and have the necessary nutrients but they would also have less health risks and a lesser rate of obesity. The majority of people and children on food stamps are overweight and have numerous health issues, this would reduce the cost of two items that we pay for with our taxes! The major food companies will be outraged but if they made their food healthier or cheaper it would not be as bad.
