Trump administration proposes amazing solution for food stamp recipients

• arclein

Under the "Harvest Box" program, food stamp recipients who are currently spending their government SNAP money would receive halfof that credit in fresh food items that are grown in America and delivered to their door. This cuts out the retailers, transaction fees and other inefficiencies of the SNAP program, bringing fresh, healthful foods straight to the people who need it most (while saving the taxpayers money at the same time). The other half of the food stamp credits would continue to appear on recipients' EBT cards, to be used under their own discretion (as is the current arrangement).
