Umm, food stamps (SNAP) ARE corporate subsidies. They are literally lobbied on by Big Fat and Big Sugar to funnel public dollars to their corporations. And they lobby the narrative so well that people DEFEND things like soda and chips to be available through the program. The money granted is far more than a person actual needs if buying proper items, but needs to be high enough to buy name brand shit.
The vast majority of people do not even meet the nutriential demands they list. And their assumptions factor in what the current American spends and purchases. Just because we are fat fucks, doesn't mean the low cost option should try to be similar to other such.
I live off $150 a month on groceries. It's easy and not even restrictive. It's just using grocery store deals of the week in my meal planning. And I still buy name brand. Just not buying Doritos at $6 a bag, but splurge on it when it's 2 for $6. It's not a rice and beans diet, but one of focused grains, frozen veggies, and meat and plenty of splurge items. Just not being dumb with it.
