My family received this benefit when my father broke his leg and was unable to work. It was amazing and me and little sisters didn't starve for the several months when we had no money.
An acquaintance of our family is on the program and sells her card to buy heroin. She begs for food from shelters for her kids because 'the government isn't helping her'
It's the same program. Feel free to cherry pick which story above fits your narrative, they are both true.

You shouldn't be able to buy candy and soda with food stamps, you should be able to get premade food like those chickens from Costco. Disappoined? Get a job.

It was amazing and me and little sisters didn't starve for the several months when we had no money. This is tackling the problem from the wrong side. Breaking a leg and being unable to work should not keep youe employer (or your medical insurance) from paying your salary. You know, like in most developed countries (except the US). People should be able to afford being sick, even for extended periods, with full salary (okay, it drops to around 70% after 12 weeks or so)
