Subsidies. Absolutely. I know a man that works at a pizza place that accepts the food stamps for the uncooked pizzas, but lets customers pay $1 cash to bake it.

Although it is true that many poor people face health problems due to poor diets, this is an ingrained social problem that won’t be solved by draconian food-stamp rules. The fact is that low-quality food is simply easier to afford, and bad eating habits can be the result of a lifetime of socioeconomic forces."
