Let me guess.....FREE FOOD!!!

Actually, a group of friends an I suggested this once. The basic idea -- combine the farm subsidy and parts of the welfare system into a more integrated idea. Create what would essentially be a government-produced "kibble" that is nutritionally balanced, and would provide necessary sustainment if eaten in the appropriate amounts three times a day.

The catch -- the "kibble" would be freely available to everyone, and would replace existing food stamp, etc., subsidies. If you want better, tastier food, you can buy it, but don't come complaining to the government that you're starving.

I prefer that idea to food stamps. The idea was to get healthier food “for the children”. Good have a free food bank with only healthy food. Probably wouldn’t be as easy to trade for drugs and booze as food stamps are.
