They should give less money in food stamps and spend more time educating people on how to prepare meals. And they should stipulate what people can buy.

I totally agree with this. Taxpayers should not pay for less fortunate people to eat junk food. They are getting the money because (theoretically at least) they are unable to provide adequate sustanance for their families. This should NOT include soda, ice cream and candy. I'm all for helping out, but this money should exclude certain food items. It's no wonder we are such a 'fat' nation.
