    The Pros And Cons Of Food Stamps

    Many food stamp recipients may say it is their life and their money, and they may spend it how they want but in reality, it is not their money. The money used to feed their families and themselves are paid by hardworking Americans that pay taxes to make the country a better place, yet the money goes to people who buy Flaming Hot Cheetos and make frequent “CarneSazos” (Mexican cook out parties) every week. Many others may say people are obese, even if they do not have food stamps. Even though this statement may be true, the people that are obese, but do not use SNAP, can splurge and binge all they want on food because it is their hard earned money, even if it is unhealthy and not recommended of them to.…

    The Food Stamp program is credited to various people. The most notably are secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace and the program’s first Administrator Milo Perkins.

    Food Stamp Program Analysis

    The food stamp project was established in the 1930’s in response to the great depression. It was later terminated "since the conditions that brought the program into being--unmarketable food surpluses and widespread unemployment--no longer existed" (Short History, 2014). A food assistance program was reinstated by executive order based on a campaign promise from president Kennedy. Among the official purposes of the Food Stamp Act of 1964 were strengthening the agricultural economy and providing improved levels of nutrition among low-income households (Short History, 2014). A negative stigma developed towards individuals who participated in the food stamp program. To combat the stigma the title was changed to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or (SNAP). The name of Food Stamp Act was also changed to the Food and Nutrition Act. Of the 10 million children currently receiving food assistance the average amount per meal is approximately 90 cents (Downs, Moore, & McFadden, 2009). The program is supposed to provide for a more nutritious diet; however, at the current rate most individuals on food assistance can only afford foods that are processed and that can contribute to obesity.…

    Abuses of Public Assistance Programs

    What is the definition of a puzzling and mysterious system that attempts to provide for the indigent? It is called the welfare system, and it works in a very complicated manner (Weiss 5). The dictionary defines welfare as an “organized community of corporate efforts for social betterment of a class or group” (Weiss 7). The welfare system was developed as a program to help American citizens during the Great Depression. Originally the welfare system was simple, understandable, and provided uniform benefits to the nations poor—mostly women, children, and unemployed men. Many of the programs were based on the idea “that government can and should try to eradicate poverty with handouts of cash and other benefits” (Weiss 53). What made the early welfare programs simple was its ability to recognize “poor” as being the same from state to state and “relief was offered on a short-term basis, giving the neediest a boost and affording them the chance to get back on their feet” (Weiss 103). Through the years as the welfare programs expanded they became less need-based, more long-term, and less strictly monitored. The biggest argument against today 's welfare system is that it is more widely considered to be an entitlement program that contributes to an eroding social climate and with its lack of infrastructure promotes more problems such as cheating. A solution to this problem would be changing the requirements of the system and having more strict check-ins on recipients.…

But this is normal to see in developing countries. This six year old girl’s brother is probably in a rundown school, learning basic reading and math. Her family needs her to fetch food and water for them, and working long, tiring hours sewing leather for a football or shelling walnuts. Why? To pay the fee of her brothers education.
