How about we start giving out FOOD instead of food stamps from now on?

The Salvation Army soup kitchens were a good example of effective nutrition-distribution. They didn’t give out money. They didn’t give out food that could be re-sold for drugs or booze. They provided a place where the hungry could come in and eat, at the price of listening to a sermon and maybe being cajoled into improving their lives.

Because those who give out food would keep the best for themselves, and give their leftover , unwanted items to the poor. They don’t give the things they would eat - just the crap they wouldn’t eat. Its just the way it is. Those on here complaining know I’m talking about you.

And for the record. every year I donate food to local charities. Name brand items - not the leftover, tasteless things most donate and think they have done their charitable duty. Items I would feel proud to eating myself.
