For the most part I agree, but I would also add stuff like beans to the list. Not everyone eats meat, and lots of poor people lack basic kitchen stuff like a full sized fridge. There was a time when I lived in a place with only a slow cooker and mini fridge, and apart from a couple things of tube meat, I couldn't store much else in the freezer portion. Being involved in a course to teach basic nutrition and cooking should be mandatory for people on assistance. Make it into something positive by letting people take home what they cook... Of course, this requires more money to be spent; but in the long run I think it is a good idea.
