I've always thought there needs to be a lot more structure to government handouts. I realize it might be considered paternalistic, but hey, anyone can escape the paternalism by getting off assistance. I think we need to give healthy food to the poor, rather than letting ignorance folks who can't feed themselves make choices about how to spend taxpayer money, Of course many of them are going to spend their money unwisely. They have made lots of unwise choices- that's how they became in need of assistance. Why would we expect their food choices to be intelligent? So this might be yet another example of a situation in which I think government can make better choices than consumers.
