What happened to valuing consumer choice?

Submitted by Rebekah Wilce on May 9, 2013 - 8:35am.

A consumer with food stamps who chooses to pay more for the organic milk doesn't consequently get a larger allotment of food stamps. Maybe he decides to buy bulk dry beans instead of canned beans to save money elsewhere. But under this bill, he couldn't buy either one, at least with the majority of his benefit allotment. The point is, for those who value consumer choice, why should someone with less money, who needs a little assistance, not also be allowed to make rational, considered choices just like everyone else?
