And people need them now more than ever. Thank you for this article. It is making me brave enough to go and apply. And I am not ashamed.

Shameful. We all pay for it, and it's fuel for the right to bash entitlement programs. food stamp abuse is rampant in Kensington. Shameful.

Motivated by this post and my roommate who's on food stamps, I braved the Ft. Greene government office, a two hour wait with screaming kids and angst-ridden fellow Brokelynites with much success. Thanks to your advice and a very generous NY State government, my food stamps and I have made several trips to the Park Slope Food Co-op! Here's to the government forking over the dough so I can eat well! Thanks again. Hey geniuses at Brokelyn,

More lampreys sucking off of the working man. I believe in a man's right to freedom and do or not do what they want. But sustain yourself. Be self-reliant. Have some self-respect and take care of yourself. Great. More lampreys sucking off of the working man. I believe in a man’s right to freedom and do or not do what they want. But sustain yourself.
