I can remember the old commodity packages. They were loaded with goodies including butter, which we could not afford.. As I seem to remember, these were too humiliating to recipients. Bur buying prepared o.j., frozen potato products, etc with food stamps s good for the soul?

How about the wartime foodcoupons in Britain till 1950s. My 90 hubby was told by our doctor in Spain who we pay to give him an MOT like older car check, every winter during jan feb march when we leave uk for the sun. SHE said He has blood tests of a 55yrold food rations were basic but healthy staples. Topped up from grannies allottment and a chicken in the garden. Im not the same vintage , but grew up on a farm in african bush from 1948. No xoda fountains there .best treat was a daily tablespoon of Cod Liver oil and Malt Extract.!
Hope RFK gets the world back to some of the old ways.
now removed from deep bunker storage warehouses and handed out after 1929 in most major cities. My mother was ten yrs old. Recalled the walks in the cold to a commodity center that was once a large mushroom cave business to see what was on shelves.

But later loaded with surplus goodies the gov bought from farmers to keep the price of farm products up...like butter.
