What do you think about food stamp money being used for Obama's nutrition program?
Is this the right program to take money from to use on a nutrition program, or do you think that Obama should find another program to take money from instead, as food stamps are aimed at helping those who are less fortunate?

I don't think he or the federal government should be meddling with any program that the federal government has no business being involved with in the first place. Domestic issues like this should only be managed at the state and local level, as per the 10th amendment.
The federal government has no business in welfare, housing, health care, education, energy, transportation (unless it is interstate travel: including highway, rail, and air), labor, or job creation. These are state government responsibilities. Their job is to handle immigration, foreign affairs, the money supply, creating new currency, the military, managing conflicts between states, and ensuring states don't enact trade barriers or tariffs amongst each other. To name the most vital responsibilities.

From your link:
Funding increases enacted in the stimulus package last year were *already scheduled* to phase out over time. The changes proposed in the state aid and nutrition bills would simply cut off that increase early, in March 2014.
