Why isn’t there a government program providing extremely easy access to basic food? (US)
I imagine that it would be incredibly cheap to provide easy, no-questions-asked access to food that is somewhat nutritious yet low status and not desirable (old bread, red delicious apples, etc.)
SNAP has a large admin overhead, and this could easily supplement it.
