I think it's good that people are exploring the government programs that they paid into or are going to be paying into. I know I would take advantage of any program that I qualify. I used to think I shouldn't and that it's some sort of pride thing, but if the safety net is there, why not take advantage of it?
That said, I am aware of the programs that I would qualify for if I lost my job since Skogafoss has now been unemployed for about 1.25 years now.
Buying organic doesn't necessarily mean healthier since there are absolutely no real federal guidelines as to the definition of organic. The word changes monthly if not weekly in the food industry.
Give people manner to take care of themselves with some dignity and responsibility and more than likely they will.
