Are food stamps being applied to snack foods in large quantities? What is the percentage distribution of foods being bought with food stamps in terms of their nutritional value?

And does government have the right to dictate what people poor enough to require food stamps must eat?

Government doesn't have the right to tell people what to eat, but it does have the right to decide what it pays for! As a taxpayer and someone who has been on food stamps (briefly) I see no problem with this.
