On another note, I actually like Trump's idea of providing a food box to poor Americans, substituting for electronic cards.
Now, I'm sure it would be awful if implemented by the GOP, but were it implemented by a party that genuinely cared for the success of average people, it could be an efficient program.
Providing simple and nutritious meals consisting of whole ingredients would be a massive boon to poor children and adults, who are decreasing their lifespan and harming their educational attainment by lacking the proper nutrition and killing themselves with fast food.
Making it fairly easy to combine those ingredients for everyday use would just require a bit of study. No reason you can't send along packages of herbs to spice things up as well. Rice, vegetables, beans, lentils, and guides on how to easily combine them with poor people methods would be preferable to outsourcing to grocery stores and restaurants. Teaching people to cook is an important skill in itself, and it would also be a good way to channel outrageous food waste into productivity.
