Currently, SNAP is used by more than 40 million Americans to feed their families, which is about 12 percent of the U.S. population.
Agricultural and consumer economics professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Craig Gundersen, said that the current food stamp assistance program not only helps Americans, but even with the help around 50 percent of recipients are finding it hard to put food on the table and feed their families.
. “Anything that impedes SNAP of doing that is very problematic as it leads to food insecurity in our country.”, saying in part, “At USDA, our informal motto is ‘Do Right and Feed Everyone.’ With these proposed improvements, we will ‘do right’ by the taxpayers and restore the dignity of work to the able-bodied who receive SNAP benefits. And, we will ‘feed everyone’ by ensuring the health and stability of SNAP for those who truly need it.
