The only “food aid” that should be available is 3 MRE’s a day. Period. If it’s good enough for our troops it’s good enough for them.

Too good. when I was in the Army, in 1969 in Korea, I got issued a box of ‘Cs’ [we were on patrol] that had been boxed when my Pop was in the Army - in 1944. Bet you there’s a whole of of those beauties stashed somewhere, and ready to go.

I think that should be the only food they should get, but they will get fatter than ever.

GREAT IDEA!

MREs cost too much ($3-7/ea), there’s too low production and they are too calorie laden.

Except that MRE’s are insanely expensive. It makes much more sense to put strict limits on processed foods, to require EBT recipients who have residences with a kitchen to use it.

I say give them a bag of rice and another of beans. That along with government cheese and powered milk is all they need.
