Personally, I think we should give poor people boxes of food.

Actually, I prefer the idea of "kibble". A basic mix of ingredients, probably patterned after the "zone" diet of 40/30/30 carb/protein/fat with USDA recommended levels of salt, vitamins, minerals, etc., included so that you hit 100% on a basic 1500-2000 calorie/day amount.

Make the stuff freely available to all, no means testing. And eliminate food stamps.

You're hungry but have no money for food? There's always kibble. Dull, perhaps, but it'll keep you alive and nourished.

In the cartoon “Futurama” (set 1000 years in the future), there is a food called “Bachelor Chow” that comes in dog food size and style bags (it even advertises “Now with flavor!” on the bag). Your kibble post made me think of that and now people are wondering what was funny.
