It's not a bad idea. Especially given all the abuse in the system.
-
Have you seen the abuse yourself......if not then let folks eat the food they want...Also buy them a stove and refrig. if they have none....
-
I've seen them outside grocery stores, begging people to buy their cards real cheap, so they can get the cash to buy drugs!

The Blue Apron Program provides fresh vegetables from the farm; that’s why the middle-class shop at Whole Foods for fresh produce—it will also help to Fraud and abuse. Kudos to
@SecretarySonny for a great program—bringing healthy and fresh food to those that need it the most. -
The Blue Apron Program is why President Lincoln establish the USDA—to bring fresh foods to families tables across America. Suggestion read about the 4-H, future farmers of America—Ag in the classroom—now Ag in homes.https://twitter.com/beenewsdaily/status/963545693989285890 …

Honestly the lady in front of me at the grocery store used her food stamps to buy like 10 liters of soda. So I’m down for this
-
How do you know she was using food stamps?

in AZ the GOP lead congress tried to make the EBT cards bright orange to shame people who would use it. Its the congress that should be ashamed.

-
Heaven forbid there should be any motivation to embarrass able body people to work and not stay parasites. By the way, I’m a checkout clerk so I know who’s using the EBT.
-
and so you think shaming the truly needy will yield the desired result. The ones who are gaming the system won't care about an orange, yellow or pink card. As usual the poor person with no options will be guilted.

Stupid people need Government. When they figure that out they will be a hell of a lot better off. Locks won’t stop a thief, they keep honest people honest.

are you some kind of lunatic?

What a joke. If the quality is anything like the school lunch (food no one will buy), loaded with carbohydrates, fat & chemicals the goal of Mulvany & Trump is to slowly murder the poor while increasing health industry profit.

You mean those school lunches by Michelle Obama

It would be great if the people proposing this nonsense had some idea of what the hell they were talking about.
-
They do that is why it makes sense.
-
Have you are they spent any time working with people on food stamps or others who need some form of government assistance. I doubt it. I have. And from where I sit it appears that you and they should understand more about these folks before you just view them as a way to cut $.
-
Their benefits aren’t cut. They will receive 1/2 in food stamps & 1/2 in boxed food that I guarantee you they get to pock out.

It is a bad plan made by Unchristian people who are reverse Robin Hoods robbing from the poor to give to the rich.
