  1. The primary advantage of using food stamps:

    Feeding the Hungry.  The number of Americans receiving food stamps is projected to reach 28 million in 2009, the highest level since the program began. Recipients must have near-poverty incomes to qualify for benefits averaging $100 a month per family member.

    Disadvantage:

    Individuals, and I believe that the numbers would be low, would not have sufficient incentive to support themselves. However, I can't imagine someone receiving food stamps as enjoying a prosperous life style.

    It affects future status only if the individual who received the assistance allows it to.  The purpose of food stamps is not to place a stigma on those receiving it.
