Improved SNAP Alternative

As an alternative to enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, there is a program that offers a higher dollar value, but can only be spent on healthier, organic, or less processed foods.

Increased cost up front, but easily pays for itself on the back end with decreased Medicare/Medicaid costs due to diabetes and other health complications.

May require implementation of a system similar to Mexico’s front-of-pack warning labels to help the user recognize qualified and unqualified foods.
