yeah, I hate when people talk about means testing social services. rich people need food too! and maybe we gave it to them, you'd stop judging poor people for needing the help. if we provided people with the things they needed, there'd be less incentive to hoard wealth in the first place.
Honestly, I don't care what people seeking assistance at food banks do for a living, whether they work or not, what they drive, etc.
People are hungry. Give them food to eat. Plain and simple.
