The thing is it won't be more cost effective. We would be nationalizing a food distribution system that is currently privatised. That will cost more.

Possibly, but it is at least worth looking into. At the very least we should restrict SNAP to only certain items that are used to make cost effective yet healthy meals. You shouldn't be able to buy lobster with food stamps.

I'm totally ok with this. The tech is already in place for the WIC program anyway.
