I think it quite unrealistic to expect that people who require assistance in the form of food stamps or equivalent will have entirely different shopping habits than those in a similar situation who are not receiving assistance.  

 

If they do indeed require nutritional assistance perhaps the list of eligible foods should be limited to foods that are generally considered nutritious — and not junk.

There are arguments against limits — none of them very strong.

There's been no problem limiting eligible WIC* foods.

If they do indeed need nutritional assistance perhaps the list of eligible items should be limited.

If not, perhaps the money should go to others who need it.
