SNAP is a federal program that exists to assist lower-income households by helping them purchase healthy food options.
The proposed bill would prevent recipients from being able to purchase everyday kitchen staples including white rice, rice noodles, canned vegetables, baked beans, refried beans, chili beans and even butter.

Looks to me like this bill is bass ackwards. The foods it'll prohibit ought to be the only kinds of foods they could buy using SNAP benefits.
