Puerto Ricans Begging For Food While Houston & Florida Feast on Food Stamps


It is now weeks after the hurricanes and Puerto Ricans are still experiencing great difficulties  throughout the island especially in the countrysides where they are trying not only to find food but drinkable water.It is unimaginable how these citizens of the United States have not yet received the assistance that is well need within a reasonable period of time so as to get back to a sense of normalcy just as citizens in Houston and Florida. In some cases, some persons in Houston and Florida received thousand of dollars in DSNAP food stamps that will certainly lead to gluttonous spending on food in a country that already has a high obesity rate. Certainly, most of these people, who have a regular income but do not qualify for regular SNAP aka the food stamp program, had to stand in long lines for hours to be processed so as to receive the food card. Others, however, have manipulated the system and are auctioning off these cards on Ebay and FaceBook when people are in dire need of food assistance in Puerto Rico.
