“———how a widow with dementia could get the box from her doorstep to her kitchen.”


I found this quite funny-——and a bit of a stretch,

How will this same widow with dementia get to buy food with the food stamps?

It's not the least bit funny nor is it a stretch...apparently you've never dealt with a dementia patient...don't mock things you obviously know nothing about.

I thought this was innovative:

...people to receive half their benefit in the form of a box of non-perishable food delivered to their homes. Direct delivery has some appeal for older adults who may struggle to get to the store. But it raises many questions, such as how it would respond to special diets and even how a widow with dementia could get the box from her doorstep to her kitchen.

The questions raised are valid, I don't find them "funny or a stretch." There will be many more questions about how to make this work, but I see a huge entrepreneurial opportunity that would be quickly filled. The entrepreneur could do the shopping and address special dietary needs, could deliver the food, and could come into the house and even put it away for the disabled. There are always a lot of clever people eager to fill needs like this. Just look at the explosion of home food prep and delivery services today that didn't exist a few years ago. The delivery of food would be a natural extension for these services.
