'''Food stamps''' are part of a federal government program, run by the [[Department of Agriculture]] (USDA). Food stamps are intended to help low-income individuals and families supplement their [[nutrition]]al budgets. However, they are often abused by those unwilling to work. This can be illustrated in the case when the state of [[Georgia]] added a work requirement to its food stamp program and thousands of people stopped using the program.<ref>Rodriguez, Katherine (May 25, 2017).
