SUPPLEMENTAL Nutrition is what it is called. It is supposed to SUPPLEMENT the food you buy for your family. If I knew it wasn’t covering everything, I think I’d buy lots of rice, beans, and the cheapest meats I could find. There are also food banks in communities and churches all across the county. My very small town has a terrific (Christian) food bank staffed with excellent volunteers one week every month. Help is out there for those in need!
I hate to tell you but the food banks are being used to feed the famlies so the food stamp cards can be sold for cash to buy cigs/booze/etc.
