The bill dictates that people can only purchase 100% whole wheat bread, brown rice and 100% whole wheat pasta no white grains allowed.

Also on the "do not buy list" are baked, refried or chili beans. Instead, recipients must purchase black, red, and pinto beans. Cooking oil, spices, and salt and pepper would have to be crossed off the shopping list, along with soup, and canned vegetables and fruit.

Fresh meats are off the table, as Iowans would only be able to purchase canned products like canned tuna or salmon. Sliced, cubed, crumbled, and American cheese would also be eliminated from SNAP food purchases.

It's weird... you can get canned beans but not canned veggies. Canned fish but not soup. The article doesn't really specify what you can get but it really seems like it's custom made so you can't make a complete meal with the benefits.
