My point was along the lines that a person has to eat anyway. Lets say you need 200/month for food.
So two scenarios for those receiving food stamps:

1. Buy food that you need for those 200.
2. Sell it for 80 and then buy the food you need for your own 200 in cash.

Where is the business? This would be viable only if you get your food for free...

Or, of course, if you spend less than 200 on your food. In that case we may be back to my other question - maybe 200 is too much.
