The $15+ they spend on a 12 piece, could be spent better buying real food at a store.

I didnt say they shouldnt be allowed, to, I just think its funny seeing the "now accepting " debit welfare card signs at fast food places like gas station fried chicken. LOL
I understand your point...it is pretty funny, and I also understand your point about the price difference, but this is also where education can come into play. Offer courses to low income people on how to eat healthier on a low budget. teach them some cooking skills to prepare the food. The cost of that alone would repay itself many times over.
