Interesting statistic. Can you explain why Tennessee is so high in the number of food stamp recipients? On another forum the number of food stamp recipients for the entire country is listed as 6,000,000. Assume about 7,000,000 people in Tennessee and around 350,000,000 for the country. Then Tennessee with only 2 percent of the country's population has 16 percent of the food stamp recipients.

A few years ago a notable percentage of our military personnel's families were on food stamps.

I'll bet you a dollar to a dog turd that the USDA & HHS parasite bureaucrats who administer that stupid program have never had that problem.
