I don't think it should be abolished, as there are some food needy people. It should go backwards in time. Government trucks/distribution warehouse should make available basic staples, like they used to. Beans, canned pork, some of that orange cheese, rice, sugar. It shouldn't be a luxury charge program, or worse yet, delivered straight to your welfare door.
I don’t have the issue with door delivery. There are many home bound due to health and age who would benefit from it, as well as those who can’t afford a car and don’t have public transit (whether inner cities, suburbs or rural areas).
My concern is that they could end up ordering organic luxury foods, energy drinks, wasting money that should go to essentials.
I see no issue with food parcels dropped off on a per person basis, though, as long as there are dietary adjustments based on the person. For example, most blacks can’t drink milk so give them soymilk instead.

Yet another example of WHY we’re in the boat we’re in\lose the debate before word one. “I think we shouldn’t violate the Constitution...except in *this* instance...”. (Facepalm)
Whom defines ‘needy’ better than those whose time\$$ is being DONATED? There’s certainly very little ‘poor’ in this country.
How long before a ‘fixed’ system turns into the same quagmire that it is today?
We either have a 5th\13th+, or we don’t.
