I also think it's the wrong approach. I think your governement should instead subsidize healthy food, like meat, fruits and vegetables. Maybe people with food stamps could get a discount on certain classes of items, which would then be reimbursed by the governement. Junk food would be regular price. This way poor people would be able to eat better without being penalized.

In fact, why don't they just subsidize fruits and vegetables at the source instead of all that corn crap. That's about the only thing everyone seem to agree about : vegetables are good for you. So the governement should start putting their money where their mouth is, and stop trying to impose sanctions.

Give people carrots instead of the stick
