Reform the Food Stamp Program

The food stamp program needs to be fixed. If an individual or family is on fs it is supposed to be because they cannot afford to feed themselves. There is absolutely no reason why people who receive fs should be allowed to buy candy, soda, junk food (cookies, pop tarts, some cereals) processed foods, bottled water etc. A fs recipient should only be allowed to buy fruits, vegetables, milk, certain cereals, meats, and bread. I am sick and tired of seeing people on line in the supermarket purchase nothing but junk food with their fs. They obviously don't need fs then. What drew the line for me was seeing someone recently purchase $50 in Halloween candy. Our tax dollars should be going to help people, not enable their unhealthy lifestyle. Fixing it will make their fs last longer and save $
