Regarding snap: There is a fraud issue and there is a cultural issue. In some instances the food boxes would go to families that would use them. Other families getting snap are not actually in straitened circumstance or are not accustomed to cooking, many people don’t these days.
The kids in school that don’t like the food as in my example don’t eat if they don’t like the food. That was the disgrace of Michelle Obama and the school lunches. The kids were fainting at school or at after school practices.
One good development is giving these people credit at Farmer’s Markets, but guess what has infiltrated farmers markets? Things like flavored popcorn and nuts and marshmallows.

Reminds me of a time a guy asked for gas money. He had a habit of asking for money for something and not using it as he claimed he would so I went to a gas station, bought a 2-1/2 gallon gas container and put 2 gallons in it. Poured it in his tank and left him red-face pissed because he really wanted cigarette money....
About 1,000 per month for a single person. Which with few studio apt. being under $ 700, plus utilities around here likely means that most poor with a income of 12,000 have another source, welfare and or share.
