Mr. Lowenthal, to your point about no one would choose to take meals for 6 quarters and that no one would choose to remain on SNAP benefits, there is this myth running around that we hear all the time that people abuse SNAP benefits--that people are buying crab legs and lobster tails with their food stamps. What is your opinion on that?
