It’s about buying votes, not feeding people. I’ve looked at the obituaries in the newspaper in my little city. In decades, I have never seen one “starved to death” listed as the cause of death. The Democrats use food stamps to buy votes. It’s just replacement income. If you receive $350 a month from the government for food, then you have $350 a month more disposable income. You can lease a nice BMW for $350 a month.
There are lots of nutrition problems among elderly people; don’t fool yourself. Calories & carbs <> good nutrition.
“It’s about buying votes, not feeding people”
And getting political donations.
Soft drink and snack manufacturers are being subsidized.
Oh, AND getting good press.
About 10% of food stamp money goes to media advertising.
It’s a monster.
