Obviously, but so should carts full of candy or other junk food.
That was kind of my point.
Prepared food is off the list even though 8 pieces of fried chicken for my family would be better than a cart full of junk food.
It just doesn't make any sense.
The basis of not allowing prepared food is not health.

You can buy prepared food. Just not hot food.
You could buy a premade sub, or even some cold fried chicken they have refrigerated.

You can't go to subway and get a sub though right?
I am pretty sure the line is between what is considered prepared food or not. Prepared may not be the right word.

There is a pretty strong demographical correlation between users of food stamps and high cost consumers of preventable medical conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes. Since Americans are picking up the tab on both ends, I'd be completely in favor of more stringent rules about food stamp usage.

I've had food stamps a few times in my life. The only things you can't buy in a grocery store with them are alcohol, tobacco, non-food items and hot food. Other than that you can buy anything in any amount prepared or otherwise.
I could fill my cart with birthday cakes if I wanted and it'd be fine.
Also, you can't use food stamps at restaurants in general so that's not really a question of the food you'd be buying there with them.

The point is that the hot foods are not allowed because they are put in the same category as food from a restaurant. There is no doubt this line is blurry.
In CT they try and draw the same line with regards to the sales tax with some weird results. 2 donuts is considered a meal and taxable while 6 is like buying from a bakery and not taxable or some crap like that. Totally strange.
The hot food issue is directly related to the restaurant issue.

If you want to make your own choices in life that's fine - but you pay for them. When you ask ME to pay for your food, then I get a say in what food you buy.

Yes.
You want the money? You play by the rules.
Too bad the junk food and soda lobbyists will crush this bill.

May as well let them buy beer too amirite? Because that has nutrional value also. Who are we to tell poor people they arn't allowed to get most of their calories from beer?
