Instead of food stamps, I think that welfare recipients should get coupons for certain foods like:

brown rice
beans
peanut butter
whole wheat bread
powder milk
eggs
apples
oranges
frozen veggies
potatoes

These items will keep them from starving. They don’t need meat because they have brown rice and beans. Hopefully, the apples, oranges and potatoes can be bought by the bag because it’s cheaper.

Not a bad idea but I can see the competition from the various food group industries to be included on the list.
These “can you survive on food stamps” threads come up about once or twice a year and are always fun. I won't repeat my just over $20.00 list as it is similar to others posted (does include sardines and other canned fish). It can be done easily and still be healthy.
