Just the part the government pays for.

This isn't hard. The whole rationale for the SNAP program was to provide nutrition for the poor. That's the way it was sold. It would have never passed it when it was proposed, Congresspersons said "And 20 years from now, we will be spending $15B per year on horseshite food and drink for people who we will then pay for their dialysis."
