You ever see a homeless guy on the street with a sign saying he's hungry, asking for $$ for food?
Ever offer to buy him a sandwich and see what he says? Sometimes they accept. Many times they don't. They just want the money. This proposal is similarly aimed at seeing what the reaction is. |

this is not a bad idea. We pay farmers subsidies NOT to grow food, and we pay welfare recipients to buy food.
Pay the farmers to grow food, and use it for the welfare needs. it's how the mormon church does food welfare, and it works really well. |

Democraps will hate this even though it provides healthy food. I've been wanting this for a while, turn in your card, and every week pick up your box of healthy and in season produce. It's like getting those boxes that cost 40 bucks, I liked gettin g them but the contents didn't come close to the price.

Hey if we are feeding them we might as well dictate what they are eating. Come up with something like "HelloFresh / BlueApron" but more simple and cheaper for people on the benefits, its everything for a full meal in a box/bag, all the spices and stuff too all you gotta do is chop it up and cook it. Good healthy meals, not just cheap slop, and make it so they pick it up at their local city/town hall or welfare office once a week. Could be done for a fraction of what SNAP and current EBT programs cost.
But it will be called racist because they cant buy sodas and snickers bars for their 19 kids and they will say its not enough food and they will say "dey gonna starve" while weighing 400 pounds. How is Jamal supposed to survive on nothing but oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, a school lunch in the afternoon, and chicken with rice and a vegetable at dinner? |

The welfare portion of food stamps goes way beyond the poor. A huge component of it is supporting domestic agriculture/food production. If you read the original legislation, strengthening the agricultural economy was one of the express purposes.

This makes sense on so many levels.
It truly becomes help not a hand-out to be bartered for cash. It will likely reduce some cost of the current program's bureaucratic mess. If it can be done, get it done. Quoted:
In what would be one of the biggest shakeups of the U.S. food-stamp program in its five-decade history, President Donald Trump is proposing to slash cash payments and substitute them with "100 percent American grown food" given to recipients. The changes, outlined Monday in Trump’s budget proposal, would reshape the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which supports roughly one in eight Americans, by reducing cash spending by about one-third from current levels. The plan is part of an effort to reform SNAP and save a projected $214 billion over a decade. It would give all households receiving more than $90 a month in cash a food-aid package that would "include items such as shelf-stable milk, ready to eat cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans and canned fruit, vegetables, and meat, poultry or fish," according to the proposal. The so-called USDA America’s Harvest Box "is a bold, innovative approach to providing nutritious food to people who need assistance feeding themselves and their families -- and all of it is home grown by American farmers and producers," Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said in a statement. The program would provide food-stamp recipients with "the same level of food value" as the current system, Perdue added. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-12/trump-budget-swaps-food-stamps-for-100-percent-american-food |

I love the idea and hope it happens, but I don't believe it ever will. Even if it did I am sure there would be a waiver program for people with a "special diet" or for religious reasons. Also, homeless people would say they don't have a place to store their food boxes. I really really like it and hope it happens, but there will be tons of crap to overcome.

Food Stamps should have been administered like WIC (Women Infants and Children) all along. With WIC, the mother receives vouchers every few months which have VERY detailed lists of what she may get with them. Hell, kids age 2 and up can't even get whole milk, thy have to get skim, 1 1/2%, or a couple of other healthy options. Everything available through WIC is the healthiest options, such as whole wheat or the equivalent.

So here's a question. I've seen this more than once when I'm at the grocery store.
A lady on welfare will have the food on the conveyor belt at the checkout line but broken out into different piles of food and they will have a check on top of each pile. I hope I explained that well enough. Anyone have any idea what's going on there? |

I see a business opportunity. The same companies that now benefit can continue to do so, but on a wholesale level. The boxes need to be manufactured and delivered to a packing facility. They then need to be filled and distributed. To be a recipient, one must fill X number of boxes per week/month/quarter. All of this activity needs to be managed. Contracts would need to be let and the work organized. It could be a win for everybody involved except the taxpayers that are robbed in order to fund this legalized crime.
