Aside from all the other issues with this, $3 a meal per person is $270-$280 per person per month on food. Many people can’t afford that anyway.

I probably spend under 50 USD a month on food—not by choice, because I can’t afford to buy more. I’m not hungry but I do yearn for being able to eat with more variety and to eat more expensive foods as a treat from time to time. So yeah, I think this is just out of touch, although I’ve never been in the US and I understand the food is both more expensive there plus people have more money there, so maybe it’s less unreasonable in the US.
But if you consider that’s per person, so a family of four would be spending well over $1000 a month on food under this plan, it’s unachievable for most I would say.
For sure. I’m not financially responsible for anyone else, and it’s hard to understand how capitalists expect people to feed their kids with the kind of money they hand out with minimum wage or benefits.
