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.

With respect to the truly homebound, I don’t have a problem either.

But there’s also a lot of abuse in the program as it sits. To use the excuse that people should have home delivery, which I consider something of a luxury (extra costs involved), because their feeling are hurt when others notice they are using EBT strikes me as abusive... to me, the taxpayer.

Good comments you’ve made but one small correction — energy drinks do not qualify for SNAP.
