I think the OP is talking about overall gov spending (snap is probably tiny) and it's pretty easy to find numerous enormous examples of fraud and waste. I'm glad you are happy about the SNAP program but the US gov has spent so many additional trillions recently which is likely now to cause a recession and high inflation.

Nope, they were talking about literally feeding people, in response to a comment about SNAP, which is food stamps. They weren't talking about fraud and waste overall, they were talking specifically about waste in distributing charity. So whatever point you're trying to make has nothing to do with what I was responding to.
