There's is far far less social stigma out there for using them. People get it, they understand. If by any chance you need help with food, look into food stamps. We don't need to starve for any reason.
One wonders if a Republican/Tea Party administration with its emphasis on killing social programs, would have allowed for this food subsidy. I think this is a very salient question because one would also suspect that people from all walks of life including party affiliation are using food stamps. I wonder how many Republican Party members who use food stamps will be voting GOP in November. Cut off your nose to spite your face...
CS Monitor: Recession officially over, use of food stamps stays at record high
The recession introduced millions of Americans to food stamps – many of them, like Hayden, for the first time. Now, more than a year after the recession is officially said to have ended, more Americans than ever are on food stamps, and the trend is higher still.
Not only did the recession boost the number of people who qualify for food stamps because of layoffs and reduced incomes, says Ms. Secor, the ensuing Recovery Act increased food stamp benefits, provided states with extra funding for administering the program, and, most important, eased requirements and access, making many more Americans eligible.

I had a discussion recently with a Tea Party pal about food stamps. He said, Socialism cut all of this out and people will find work. I said, really even if none exists? He said, grow your own , I said with what $$ and how do u grow food if u live in an inner city? he said, then f*ucking die. I said, watch what you say you might find some day it comes back to haunt u or yours. He said, I'm rich my family is rich and I don't care what happens to people that aren't.
