Food stamps were for US produced food items *only*, at one time.
Food stamps could not be used for imported items.
I would like to see this policy re-instated.
Tax payer dollars shouldn’t be used to subsidize foreign agriculture/food industries.
You are making it a double subsidy if you a) give them food stamps and then b) don’t let them buy the cheaper agricultural imports.
That would essentially leaving us poor schlubs to buy the cheaper imports while they get to eat “American”.
There is a reason food stamps are in the Department of Agriculture.
