Having shopped in some pretty impoverished area (and worked as a grocery store cashier for more than 1 year), WIC and EBT for people who were going to use the value for bad/other purposes is just giving cash with extra steps. What they end up doing is hawking the goods (or vouchers) on the street for diapers, the rent, crack, gas, whatever it may be they need the money for. Just cut out the bloat and give the cash, IMO.
