They'll simply sell them on to their mates for a cash discount then go and buy the usual shite. Our council has tried food co-ops in the social housing estates and they all failed due to the lazy workshy fops not knowing how to peel a potato never mind make a nice pan of vegetable broth.

You could do a tie-in with the vouchers i.e. they get their vouchers plus a copy of Healthy Eating for Wee Wasters on the Brew.
To have a copy of the book could be a badge of honour, a bit like getting an asbo. You could even have different titles for different types of customer e.g. Healthy Eating for Gymslip Mums on the Cadge and Healthy Eating for Smackheads.
Even if they don't/can't read, as long as you have sold copies of the book.
It's capitalism in action in a post-public services society. A workbook for living in a wasteland, kind a thing.

so if you are unfortunate enough to be out of work,you can never ever enter a pub for a pint,go into a bettting shop and put a ?1 on a horse,or do anything at all that may be considered wasting the tiny pittance you get. All because a few daily mail reading types hate the fact that a few people on the dole are lazy. Get a fucking life.

He's trolling - again.
For a man that's supposedly chuffed about what he's achieved in life you'd think he couldn't care less what the poor/lazy/immigrants do with their money.
Either he's a vindictive and hateful bloke by nature or he's not so happy, content and successful in life as he makes out, resulting in this spiteful demeanour due to frustration about his own shortcomings.

It's the concept of the "undeserving poor" which had its heyday in Victorian times, but tends to make a comeback, whenever there is a Tory-led government in charge.
As we say in Blackpool, plus ca change, plus c'est la meme fucking chose.
