    Agriculture Sec. Sonny Perdue defends a proposal that would cut food stamp benefits in half and replace them with a box of shelf-stable goods: "We're looking to do more with less, we think it's a reasonable way to do that." http://abcn.ws/2HEed0s pic.twitter.com/TP9qrWzr7o

        You try eating that “food”, you old coot. You wouldn’t last a day. No fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, no fresh bakery, milk, orange juice, eggs, butter. How’s that sound to you?? Can you live without any of these fresh items???? I highly doubt it.

        To be fair, they’re not proposing cutting fresh items. They’re proposing shelf stable plus fresh (albeit less $ to spend).

        Just like the food pantries try to do.They really do try, but fresh anything is scarce to non-existent. Most of GOP who want to cut food stamps, Meals on Wheels, school lunches/breakfast for impoverished families,have never known hunger or have been denied fresh food-EVER. You?

        Yes. I have. But the minute I had more than I needed I gave back. Because it's the right thing to do, and it happens to make me feel good as well

        Of course, this was almost 40 Years ago, when I was on the Navajo Res in AZ. Monthly stipend to the people. There were all the Dried goods, too.

        It would also be reasonable to force him to eat the crap he is sending.

        Doesn’t look like he’s missed too many meals. Let’s have each senator and congress member plus POTUS give this new idea a try for a few months- see how they like it. Great canned meats , processed food loaded with sodium- dry milk etc.
