Perhaps people on the dole should be required to go to a soup kitchen/cafeteria place to get their meals each day. They have to walk or get transport there. The staff knows they get the good meal and the state knows they are eating. I think that would be a win-win situation. If you can walk you can eat. For all the legitimate disabled/old people on the dole, they get their 3 meals a day delivered in the morning or they get a sign off that they are not abusing the food and get a few days in a row delivered. It works out for all. This would probably save money.

I'm all for the walking around part but that sort of thing can have a negative effect on people trying to get out of being on the dole. For those lazy idiots they can easily pull off walking to a soup kitchen since they got all the time in the world. Whereas for people working jobs but needing assistance in the meantime, it only adds more to the logistical problems of the day. Now they have to factor in traveling across town on top of getting to work. This is especially difficult if the soup kitchen has shitty hours.
If we're talking about restrictions, then why not just assess the health and only give what they need. Sort of like the WIC system that is setup in America. They only get coupons that can only be used for raw items and whatever is on the coupon is what you get. Reason being is because well supermarkets tend to have better hours so it'll make scheduling way more simplier.
