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?

“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.

I guess Diane Yap doesn’t realize that Asians are far from the top of the “victim pyramid”. So she should expect some pushback for her sensible ideas.

Here ya go, Ms. Yap.

Unfortunately, the thing that is missing in the whole debate is why the hell are 42 million people on food stamps in the most prosperous nation on earth?

I think FReepers and "internet influencers" are the only people expressing this disgraceful condition.

Damn right the vast majority of these obese free loaders depend on the workers feeding them. Time for a big cut back.

Mayuube there is some logic to giving people on food stamps pre-made food like “prison loaf” but saying it now really isn’t helpful. The Dems are committing suicide with the shut down. This allows liberals to refocus on evil, heartless conservatives. And for the record, I don’t think the poor should be fed prison loaf. The truly needy American citizens should get food stamps to buy certain categories of food at the supermarket with the obligation to try to get a job if they are able-bodied.

I agree. And all their neighbors should judge them for their lack of productivity towards the advancement of humanity.

If they are truly incapable of productivity, kind souls will take notice and help. If they are just lazy, everyone should frown, walk on the other side of the street and generally scoff at them.

Bring back shame!!!

A few drops of Cankle’s hot sauce and that may not be half bad.

Better yet - go back to the old system of handing oUt a mix of staple foods once a month to the professional shirkers, loafers and parasites.

If the government says that taxpayers have to keep them alive this is the way to do it.

Kill the EBT handouts and provide government cheese, canned mystery meat, rice, beans, peanut butter, powdered milk etc.

By what perverted logic should EBT people be eating better than the working taxpayers paying for their EBT purchases?

If they want a better variety they always have the option of WORKING at a job!

It only took $130 Million to make sure our Servicemembers got paid.
It takes $9 Billion Dollars to send out SNAP benefits.
Maybe it’s time to Double the size of our Military and cut the SNAP recipients by at least Half. Those who are able bodied could join the Military.
