The first question I would ask is why they have nothing to eat. The second question is what will be received in return for help. Rules of reciprocity. For balance to be achieved there must be an equal give and take. To always take will always result in a shortage that must be refilled by someone.
They was me! In my younger days after my dad was discharged from the US Army because of a lung disease. He had a steady job but had to go to a VA hospital to get 2/3 of his lung removed. He was gone for a month and a half and my mother was home with 4 young children. She got assistance 'til my father was able to go back to work. One month the check came late and we literally had NO food in the house.
Are there people that abuse the system? Sure but there are also people with children that without food stamps would NOT have anything to eat. Don't lump everybody together that are on food stamps. In a lot of cases a family loses the bread winner. Death, divorce, or gone to jail. Will you take the children into your home 'til mom or dad finds a job that pays enough to feed, house and clothe them?
Well??
