Ugh I had a good response written out by hubski bugged out and it didn't post. The long and short of it was, I admit I haven't though this out entirely, but I have this feeling, perhaps naively, that there exists a much better solution to the problem. There's been a lot of increased food stamp spending in the past few years and I'm not at all convinced it's working.
I think that without the food stamp program there would be more severe hunger. No program is perfect but I think that there is more danger in the current political climent that food stamps gets gutted and replaced with nothing rather than a healthier alternative.
