That helps feed people who can't afford food, but doesn't make food available. Subsidies are insurance for farming risk, you can't use stamps on food they didn't grow.
- colinmhayes 5y ago> but doesn't make food available Yes it does. If people spend more money on food, food prices will go up, and more food will be grown.
- chucksta 5y agoIt could make food available later. That is retroactive though, to use the stamp the food has to exist in the first place. It also doesn't relieve any risk to the farmer which is the point of the subsidy.
