HOW SNAP WORKS
SNAP benefit levels are based on the Thrifty Food Plan (TFP), a market-basket of food updated annually by USDA representing the minimum amount a family could spend on groceries for a nutritionally adequate diet. The TFP is adjusted according to household size and income to determine benefit levels.
SNAP benefits are delivered monthly to eligible participants through electronic debit (EBT) cards that can be used to purchase groceries at over 200,000 authorized retailers nationwide.[i] SNAP EBT cards are programmed to only allow the purchase of food. Other items sold at authorized retailers are prohibited, including vitamin supplements, hot or prepared food[ii], non-food grocery items, alcoholic beverages, and cigarettes.[iii] Senior, homeless, or disabled participants, who may lack the ability to prepare meals at home, may also purchase prepared meals at low-cost restaurants

America currently has record levels of child hunger, and it's getting worse. These are the cold hard facts. Of course, you're quite within your rights to look at these programs as a model to solve world hunger, but when the data for how these programs actually affect the real world doesn't show this, then something isn't quite working out.
I don't think having a limited vocabulary is something that I suffer from, so the language I
choose to use, is irrelevant.
