There should be no such thing as food stamps.
You’re needy? You get what you need “in kind”.
Go to the food bank and get your bag of beans, rice, meat, cheese and vegetables. Then go home and cook them.
If you don’t want to eat it, then go hungry. It isn’t complicated.
In Florida you can’t use them at restaraunts or for buying prepared foods. However, I do agrees with the homeless arguement. Where are they to store meat and a pack of asparagus?
You and I think a like.It should also be given in the amount needed as in for every person to feed they get so many pounds of X.
Back in the day, 1972, there was a “commodities food program”. One did not get stamps, or cards one got an actual box or two of food, including a 5 pound brick of what looked like Velveeta, but was honest to God cheddar.
Only time in my life I’ve committed welfare fraud. I tried, no way I could buy this stuff and it was so much better than sto’bought!
Totally agree with the concept; provide food, not food stamps. In Texas we have a “card” instead of “stamps” Whoopee, the junkies still trade them at 50 cents on the dollar, just like the old days. Somebody at the bar gets cheap ribeye, junkie gets cash for (meth, coke, fill in the blank).
