That may have made sense decades ago, but now it costs real money to fish or hunt, and there are limits on catch. There was a time in my memory, where I could fish in Puget Sound and keep anything I caught to eat. Paying only for a license for lakes and streams. Then the government gave all the fishing rights to Natives, and non-natives cannot survive without breaking the law. I often lived on my catch in my younger days, picked brush and sold it off of public lands. Even worked in tree farms for Christmas, made wreaths etc. Now the brush pickers are illegals, and the christmas tree farms are tended by illegals.
I’m actually surprised that govt has been sued for contributing to the obesity of a minor alongwith malnutrition and its effects on diminished mental functions by allowing EBT and SNAP programs to be used in the purchase of junk food.
Limit SNAP & EBT for nutritious ingredients only and not processed snacks foods and sugared cereals.
