Since today’s food stamps or food stamp program is electronic why not set it up that recipients can receive certain nutritional valued foods such as x amount of protein per month x amount of vegetables per month x amount of fruit per month x amount of milk from a x amount of cheese etc and even a small amount of yummy treats among because we need to have that giving preference to American agriculture this would limit the amount of junk food you see in shopping carts that are paid by federal dollars reducing juvenile diabetes and diabetes as a whole and making people healthier again
As a health coach, the only change I would make to this, is the prescribed amounts. Those numbers and how they’re filled in a healthy way is different for everyone. However, I do believe that the program should only be used for whole food ingredients meat, fish, dairy, produce, and seeds and starts for the garden. I also think that food stamps should be allowed for supplements and herbal remedies as well. People deserve to chose how they heal their body .
