Foodies on Food Stamps

I saw this article about “young hipsters” who receive food stamps or public assistance who use their monthly allotment to buy higher end foods.

The people profiled in the article are single individuals (no families). Though I have always thought there should be a class or at least a seminar for recipients to teach them how to prepare quality, healthy meals.

What people choose to purchase with their allotment is their business. I probably wouldn’t want rabbit, but I would want to get fruits and vegetables which even in season can be costly. Is it wrong for foodies to use their food stamps to eat well?
