    The Trump administration has introduced a plan to replace food stamps with food boxes, with some officials touting it as a "Blue Apron-type program." Hunger advocacy groups, however, view the proposal with grave concern.pic.twitter.com/j6otHYJ1i5

        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.

        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

        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.

        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.

        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.
