How is "that thinking" the problem? A problem for what exactly?
Junk food is a problem because it's vastly overpriced relative to the amount of nutritional value.
In terms of material cost, the dollar amount actually necessary to feed poor people is a tiny insignificant fraction of what is being spent now. That's inefficient.
Not to even mention how junk food contributes to obesity and other health problems, effectively creating a second-order tax unto the health care system.
Every government program will see fraud and I don't even see how junk food is a real problem? The point is calories. Sure, healthier food would be better, but there are other efforts to get people of all income brackets to eat healthier. The government should not limit what people are permitted to eat just because they're poor enough to qualify.
