A variation of.

Dandy. It's different to cash.

Some do that, yes - not everybody can (eg: small communities, limited travel, few people with cash that want to buy basics)

Are you also angry that Walmart bought those things and is selling them on?

I didn't say I was angry at anyone. A business can decide what to offer for sale and customers can decide what to buy. That's different from whether tax dollars funding it is the best solution.

I often see people in my area buy organic produce from local small businesses at the farmers market. So I suppose my anecdote balances out yours?

Are they doing that with federal subsidies? I'm not sure the point you're trying to make, and NY point wasn't even that we shouldn't have food stamps but that as the program already stands it can be abused.
