Which is why shame is good in instances like these. Sometimes I head to walmart later in the evening (11pm or midnight) and that's when you see people with food stamps marching through, perhaps it's shame.
I remember a guy buying 8 cans of whip cream (too get high off of whatever aerosols it contained) by using food stamps.
Some people truly are helpless, makes it hard to distinguish with all the leeching of the system.
