But others suggested Yap might be onto something.

“At any other time in history, and in much of the world today, Diane’s proposal of free nutritionally complete food would be considered extremely generous. But it’s not hot Cheeto-flavored so apparently it’s immensely cruel,” wrote one user.

She is correct. “Beggars aren’t choosers.” I once tried to give a homeless person a hamburger. He declined saying “I am vegan.” I said ok, then starve.

SNAP should be eliminated along with every other government funded welfare programs.

That’s preposterous. How is somebody supposed to exchange that thing for drugs or alcohol or cigarettes?

Many homeless and panhandlers aren’t looking for sustenance....they want cash to buy drugs and alcohol.

Not all of them mind you, but those ruin it for the ones that legitimately need help and won’t get it because people don’t want waste their money on someone with a substance abuse problem.

Same with SNAP, the misuse and abuse of that system is ridiculous.

“They can opt out at any time by simply paying for their own food,” Yap responded.

Yep. They might have to forego the ridiculous eyelashes, elaborate nails or a new tat, but it’s all about the choices.

Viewing the photo, I have seen worse looking food. Appeal would rely not just on appearance, but the aroma and the texture of the food. It doesn’t help that this “prison loaf” is a huge, uneven brick like creation, unceremoniously dumped onto a warped paper plate. No gravy, no sauteed onion toppings, no nothing.

Will Rogers said America is the only place in the world where its poor drive themselves to the poor house in their own automobile.

Nowadays you can update that to "America is the only country where its hungry are overweight and take an Uber to the liquor store or marijuana dispensary or 7-11 and shop on their iPhones and spend all day playing video games on their 70" flat screens or binge watching TV shows on their cable or satellite packages after spending hours getting a new tattoo or piercing parts of their bodies that ought not be pierced"

When I was a kid, there was no EBT, Food Stamps, SNAP, WIC or anything like we have today.

The county distributed food in large cardboard boxes the size of a crate of eggs that had surplus food from USDA commodity programs, flour, peanut butter, cheese, powdered eggs, cornmeal, and other things as well.

They were delicious.............

What makes SNAPPERS better than prisoners. The only difference I see is the methods they use to get our money.
