Quoting: Light Bulb The link below says the boxes are part of the 2019 budget. [link to www.foxbusiness.com (secure)] That's Awesome! Hopefully, it goes through. I wonder why the Dimms aren't using that leverage chip? I'm sure some of there core voters wouldn't be real happy about this. Maybe this is why the SNAP benefits were given early this month? Possibly setting up for the change over to take effect after the budget is passed and government reopens?

Bright Side Texas Yellow Rose Colored Glasses... User ID: 75260080 United States 01/21/2019 09:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Life is a spiritual war and no matter where we lay our head, we live in a warzone. There will be casualties. You do get to choose your side. I chose the Bright Side where my God fights for me. Others chose the Dark Side and fight for an entity that views them with disdain and discards them. |

Quoting: Bright Side Better a subsidy to lettuce and tomato farmers than soybean farmers. Still, I don't see this ending well. People with bad diets all their lives will not suddenly learn to cook or eat properly. Do they teach meal planning or nutrition in schools? I doubt it. Even if instructions were included in the box they'd probably tossed unread. Governments need to stop dysgenic programs that keep the dumbest of the population breeding the most offspring. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20408015 United States 01/21/2019 10:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dramatic irony - wealthy people voluntarily pay big bucks to have food delivered to them in boxes because they get healthy and fresh food on a regular basis and they don't have to shop. Poor people complain about boxes delivered to them as unhealthy and not allowing choice. Go figure. |

Quoting: mahownlittlebunnyrabbit I remember all the gullible libtards at a health food store I used to shop at GUSHING over Michelle/Michael Obama's healthy nutrition hoo-ha for school students. Like these kids who are used to eating junk food are going to swoon over broccoli and tofu. Meanwhile a NY Post reporter followed the Obama girls around on a trip to NY city and found them hitting several bakeries and candy emporiums to stock up on all kinds of "verboten" snacks. HYPOCRITES, as usual. |

People with "Special Food issues" aren't typically on food stamps. It's usually the rich white libs who demand gluten-free. Which btw...was just a fad that is dying out lol And the few who do have food sensitivity, I'm sure there would be substitutions to choose from |
