40th Anniversary of USDA's Food and Nutrition Service

FNS administers the 15 domestic nutrition assistance programs which together comprise the Nation's food safety net. They include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP (formerly the Food Stamp Program); National School Lunch Program (NSLP); Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC); Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program; and the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), among others.

Since 1969, the SNAP/Food Stamp Program has issued over $554 billion in program benefits; NSLP has served over 169 billion meals; and $27 billion in USDA commodities have been issued in food benefits for schools and another $23 billion in food benefits for household and emergency feeding programs.

dyslexic or not

you are wrong about `few` people choose to live on hand outs.

It becomes a way of life for them

and then they pass on that way of life to their children

the children grow to belive that it is OWED to them

in many countries these people are allowed to just starve.

read up on the link poverty and fast foods. You can be fat and have malutishon.If you had ever gone hungry you would not wish it on anyone. few people choose to live on benafits rather than work. Yes some do but dont pain everyone with the same brush. there are meny resons for unemployment. You only have to look at what happened to the miners and there communiteys when the pits were closed. They as others on benafits wanted work but there was none around. Read up or shut up.

a friend thinks when he walks into a supermarket that all u have to go is get off your sorry ass & go to work & then u can buy all this lovely stuff to eat.

RIGHT now tell me about the chemical abuser without a job. YES there is plenty of work. GO stand outsid any Builders Club and you will get a job for the day. Ohhh thats not what you want to do. You want the rest of us to go to work so you can stay home smoke dope watch TV and cry baby about how you have nothing in the refrigerator
