62. Editorial October 30,2009 No one should presume to know what a food-stamp recipient looks like. Food stamps — an out-of-date name since the 50-year-old program's benefits are now distributed via cards — are used primarily by people looking for a job, or who are employed but make so little they qualify for federal assistance. Those handing over food stamps to a grocery-store cashier can be, and are, our neighbors and former co-workers.
