I didn't realize you could buy fast food on food stamps. I know you can buy things like Papa Murphy's pizza because it is a take and bake thing, but I don't think you can buy already prepared food like KFC and Burger King.
That said, if you are on welfare I think they put cash on the food stamp card and you can use it like a debit card so you might be seeing people pay for this stuff with their welfare card.
The reason I say this is that about seven or eight years ago when my mom got really sick she ended up on disability and got medicare. The funny thing was that she was, at the the time, 64-years-old and unable to work and her only source of income was SSI yet she only qualified for $15 per month in food stamps. I was the one dealing with the paperwork and the caseworker ran through a list of things food stamps didn't buy and I could swear already prepared foods was on this.
On another note, there is no way to make everyone happy. If a person on food stamps buys junk food, candy, cookies, frozen pizza etc people will bitch that they shouldn't eat junk. If that same person bought a bunch of fresh fruit and veggies, boneless skinless chicken breasts, fresh foods and good/healthy stuff people would bitch that they shouldn't eat like kings.
