Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. In adults, a body mass index (BMI) over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 is obese.

If people are truly hungry, they will gladly accept free healthy food direct from the government instead of synthetic factory food marked up at retail.

Patrick says

Give food assistance as food only, never as EBT/SNAP cash. Recipients get a weekly pickup of beef, bread, vegetables, fruit, butter, and milk.

True, the counter arguments though is that it increases bureaucracy and costs more. I'm for it for the record, but without paying a lot for handing out the food. Maybe a cheap delivery service, must have valid home address.
