What I'd like to do to improve the food stamp program

57. It's been my experience that there's always ~someone~ who gets left out of such things

Maybe they get tired of continually asking for favors or maybe they just aren't popular and outgoing in the first place.

The people I know who don't or can't drive go through amazing gyrations in order to get rides, if all they could buy at the store was fresh foods they'd be working on getting rides to the store just about all the time. One thing about processed foods is that they keep for the most part, you can go shopping once a week or even every other week. Fresh produce would turn into slime in my fridge in two weeks, processed food is still there in my freezer and cupboard after two months or more. In fact I ate ramen and crackers for dinner last night because my pantry is looking a bit bare after a week and a half without a major shopping trip.

It's really not fair of you to hold your little and evidently highly unusual community up as some kind of standard that the entire country has because I can tell you that it's not remotely like much of America, where I live certainly isn't Lake Wobegon. I'm seeing more and more people walking on the shoulders of our roads (where we have even that, otherwise you are walking in the road).
