I don't think a blank credit card for all things food related at the beginning of every month is a bad thing. A waiver, that specifies what one can get and how much would be much more cost effective, and still get people the food they NEED, not just want.

Care to elaborate?

What is the reason for your disagreement? Do you suggest that we just let people starve to death?
