Considering that food, second only to air, is one of the highest priorities in survival, every first dollar that every individual has should go towards it.
Food stamps do not subsidize food. An honest person will spend any and every dollar available to feed their family at the expense of comforts and lifestyle.
Food stamps subsidize cell phones and gas, car payments, and everything else that the receiver is then free to spend those first dollars on.
One can eat reasonably well on just 25 minutes of minimum wage labor per day. See tagline.
