The food problem is an exemplar of how everything works in America. Bolt on 'solutions' at the very end of a grift-laden process to attempt to ameliorate the predictable negative effects, where 'solutions' are mostly marketing and happytalk.

Poors already don't buy much candy and snacks, because they're too expensive for what you get. Getting enough real nutrition from SNAP is enough of a challenge.
