I've been on food stamps, nothing I'm ashamed of. There was a time in this country people who didn't have food went hungry or worse, ate dog food as it was the only meat they could afford. Thankfully my family never had to do that as our government created a safety net to catch families like mine.
Food stamps then as they are now are used to help people survive. I remember my mom saying she wasn't hungry while making sure we ate. All parents sacrifice for their children that way and as a kid you don't question it. There is the possibility that your parents went hungry so you wouldn't. Don't criticize others for being poor.
Yeah, I've been on food stamps and the only thing I'm a shamed of is being a shamed to talk about it.
