While these are all fine and good, personally I still think a universal basic income would be the best way at reducing hunger. A totally unrestricted program like that though be very hard to push, despite all the evidence of their effectiveness, when there’s fighting over whether or not SNAP should be taking a fine toothed comb to exactly what foods people are or not allowed to buy with it.

Conservatives won’t be satisfied until the entire budget for any safety net program is consumed in administrative costs, leaving nothing for the actual people it’s supposed to be helping.
