I believe that every hungry family should be given a stipend of beans, rice, tang and powdered milk instead of EBT cards.

Bears repeating.

I know that kind of diet would be dull and boring, but there's a solution to that.

Get a job and you can buy whatever you want to eat.

Just like poor Africans and Haitians.

About 15 years ago, my wife, newborn son, and myself found ourselves on food stamps. We really didn’t need them, but we kept getting pestered about it, and finally we gave in.

We ate like freaking royalty. You’d be amazed at how much chuck steak, rice, veggies, fruit, and chicken you can buy with what they give you. We always bought in bulk, and wisely used what they gave us. The punch line: we still have some dried beans and rice from that period of our lives.

On the other hand, we’re a rarity. I’m with you. If you’re really hungry, here are some beans and rice. Chow down.
