Perhaps people on the dole should be required to go to a soup kitchen/cafeteria place to get their meals each day. They have to walk or get transport there. The staff knows they get the good meal and the state knows they are eating. I think that would be a win-win situation. If you can walk you can eat. For all the legitimate disabled/old people on the dole, they get their 3 meals a day delivered in the morning or they get a sign off that they are not abusing the food and get a few days in a row delivered. It works out for all. This would probably save money.  edit: you don't like today's meal options? Lose weight and GET A JOB.
