If you don't want to live on food stamps, get a job. If someone can survive on the current food stamp budget, power to 'em. The government should only provide the very basic minimum needs. If food stamp recipients want to be able to afford some cheese for those chips, they can enter the work force.

Roughly 15 years ago I worked a fulltime job and was eligible for food stamps. After paying minimal rent/utilities and medical bills (I was uninsured) I subsisted on $10 a week for gas (to get to work) and food. This went on for over a year. Getting a job isn't always the answer.
