The answer is YES.

Frozen Vegetables are just as healthy as fresh. A well balanced diet is eaten AT HOME, not at the local gas and sip.

My family has had the unfortunate incidence when both my wife and I where without work, She being treated for cancer, I having stayed at home to care for the children.

We HAD TO sign up for SNAP. It was the largest food allowance we ever had budgeted. We had more $ for food than we needed.

Of course I did as I always do and bought sale items with coupons, some that doubled, shopped around, and bought in bulk. We had six months of support and ate for more than a year.

It is SUPLEMENTAL. You are supposed to bring your own $ to the table. Also every child that lives in a house on SNAP gets FREE Breakfast and Lunch at school. FREE! Most of these kids eat better and more than they should as can be seen by the expanded waist lines of our poorest citizens.

People are just poor planners and spoiled stupid.

I have a cousin who is 66 and recently divorced. She was left with nothing and signed up for food stamps. She said she’s eating better than she ever has. This is the first time she hasn’t had to pay for her own food.

You forgot lazy too.

Also may people feel entitled to live like Mini Kardashians. i.e. take selfies and post them to their social media accounts and drink branded coffee drinks all day.
