The food stamp program was in existence in the 1960s and ‘70s. The Food Stamp Act of 1964 was the beginning of the modern age of federal food supplement benefits dissemination, and in the early ‘70s it was expanded.
Like I said, I’m 66 and there is no need to try to teach me what was life was back then.
LIKE I SAID “BACK THEN (prior to 1964) THERE WERE NO FOOD STAMPS...only commodities!”
The 50 year old kid that wrote the article was born in 1963 for crying out loud! He was not old enough to even experience life until 1968 and understand was was going on.
ALL that he speaks of happened many years before his time.
Good old President Johnson’s “Great Society” started in 1964 and the “kid” was only 1 year old. Food stamps came a few years after that.
