Since a lot of food stamps are received by homeless people who have no access to cooking facilities, this is actually a good idea.
that should be covered as a seperate issue.
Why? I'm reasonably certain that this is the reason why food stamps are being extended to restaurant use. Not everyone has access to cooking facilities or even food storage. So I don't think it is a separate issue.
Bear in mind that we're not just talking about fine dining. We're talking fast food, too, and as food stamps are tightly limited in quantity, that's far the more likely use.
I am not sure that homeless people can even get food stamps.
And address, etc is required.
Yes, they can. A mailing address is easy to come by. Get a friend to take your mail for a while, and using that, get a P.O. box. You're good to go. I volunteered at a homeless shelter a while back and people came in from California's food stamp program to hand out applications and explain how the program worked.
