I try not to focus on it but seeing shopping carts overflowing with empty-calorie comfort foods freaks me out. Especially dealing with people's health issues on a professional level daily.

I wouldn't like to see this either. However, I doubt that making up a new "food stamp eligible" classification system for the grocery stores to navigate will make those people eat any better. To me, the bottom line is "will this improve the health of those affected to any significant degree". I think the answer is "probably not". I also think that the politicians proposing this probably don't give a rat's ass about whether it will or not, so screw them.
