I have to say this is a good step.

Because I am so "rich," I barely qualify for food stamps with a whopping $30 a month of benefits, while I raised and provided for 4 kids, I gladly paid into the System for 40 years for others. I have to beg, borrow and do whatever I can to eat, much less eat an expensive diabetic diet. I also have no access to Medicaid because I have to spend $4000 a year in order for it to kick in. Yeah right, where to I get that? From the Tooth Fairy? Oh yeah, right, I lost all my teeth because as a working mother, I did not qualify for dental care, only my kids did, for which I was grateful.

Now as a senior on a fixed income with little resources because I worked McJobs as required making rich men richer saying, "do you want fries with that?" I barely had enough to pay the rent much less feed myself right.

So yeah sure I could use a better access to a decent diet all right But I do not trust it because who is really going to get all that funding. I have seen mega non-profits, including shall I say, "Schmalvation sharmy, Schmood Schmill," religious mega-church institutions sitting on millions who get it and all of them act like even though you are exhausted, working your butt off as they demand you do in order to qualify, and trying to manage things, they act like you do not deserve what they get, they "deserve" it more.
