I agree. People get upset about the food EBT stuff, but it still makes up a small percentage of overall tax dollar spending. I get way more upset at other wasteful spending, but that's just me. If they are offering the food money then I would use it. I understand those who don't though.

Majority of federal spending is transfer payments, it’s welfare. We spend more on that than education and the military.

In 2020, the total cost of the U.S. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) was around 79.22 billion U.S. dollars. This is a significant increase from the previous year, when the total cost of SNAP amounted to 60.4 billion U.S. dollars.

Quick Google search

Yet there are stats that say 1 in every 8 kids in the US doesn’t know where their next meal comes from

Until there is major SNAP / welfare reform it’s only going to get worse for these kids, majority do not benefit from these programs in any way
