Replace food stamps with National WIC

The food stamp or EBT program is rife with abuse. Instead of giving food stamps to low income families that are used to buy junk, standardize a program similar to WIC. This would give healthy food (milk, eggs, bread, cereal, fresh fruit and vegetables) to low income households. WIC gives you a certain amount of specific foods to buy per month depending on your family size. For example 4 gallons of milk, 3 dozen eggs, 5 boxes of cereal, etc.

WIC stands for Women, Infants, and Children, so a change would be needed to include males. Implementing something like this means the children would have healthy options in their home, and the taxpayer wouldn’t be funding Little Debbie’s and cigarettes.
