Lol talk about a straw man, but your attempt at this is rather pathetic.
Out of all the factors examined by this study, none of them is because of too much food. There is no issue of SNAP recipients buying too much food.
The fact of the matter is that junk food is cheap. That is why they buy it. They can't afford much else.
This is another problem I have. For the moment, let's ignore the fact that there are research reports where people were put on controlled diets and still gained weight.
But before we even get to that... where in the heck does one get this crap idea that 'junk food is cheap'? Cheap compared to what?
You can't possibly mean comparing McDonald's to a Super Market. You realize that for the price a large fry, you can buy a 5 lbs bag of potatoes? For the price of a burger, you can buy 3 lbs of ground beef?
And for the price of a large bag of potato chips, you could buy two bags of potatoes. And certainly not a large soda drink, which you could buy two 2-liter bottles of soda at the store, or any other drink.
Seriously, this is one of the more wacky claims I see all the time. How in the heck, do people claim this? Based on what comparison? Have you never been in a grocery store?
