I don't know the answer for sure but this can be done without congressional approval right?

I'm in favor as long as it does not become a price fixxing scheme for perishables. Generally fresh fruits, vegetables and meats are too expensive for the poor to fill their bellies on plus it requires extra steps that also add expense like cooking and refrigeration. That's why they use their SNAP benefits on ramen, taquitos and soda. If they were able to provide enough to actually allow a family to really eat on this box without raises prices for the rest of us that's great.

Yeah, yeah we all know the story of the lady picking up filet mignon on her EBT card. That's someone gaming the system. I'm talking about America's true poor who have to decide between a $5 little ceaser that will feed them all right now or 2 lbs of broccoli that they have to prepare and refrigerate and it still will not "satisfy" like the pizza.

If tax dollars are providing it then we should always be trying to get the most bang for the buck. A program that helps farmers, possibly reduces medical costs dowm the road and mayne even incentivizes people to get off of food stamps so they can have some food freedom is a good thing.

I believe we have a moral obligation to feed the poor and help the sick. However what that looks like is nothing close to our current system where the inmates are running the asylum.
