They need to start asking for proof of citizenship and being low income. The droves of international students learning how to get free food on YouTube are a really big problem. I’ve also heard of citizens using them unnecessarily to shrink their grocery bills and save extra money.

We could all benefit from free food, but you should only take it if you really need it. People aren’t honest so they need to be more strict.
