Regulate what items can be bought with foodstamps. Energy drinks, candy, and junk food should not be allowed.

Created by J.G. on November 17, 2012

I work in a retail environment and I see all sorts of people daily. I understand that people need help buying food, but it infuriates me to see people purchasing snacks for movies, energy drinks, candy, and junk food with their foodstamps card, whenever there are people who are struggling to buy bread that can't qualify for foodstamps. I think it should be limited to unprepared food items or basic groceries (much like the WIC program is regulated)
