UNIVERSITIES ENCOURAGE COLLEGE STUDENTS TO . . . go on food stamps? Because cutting tuition is out of the question, I guess. Also, you can get surprisingly good provender:

“I’m sort of a foodie, and I’m not going to do the ‘living off ramen’ thing,” one young man said, fondly remembering a recent meal he’d prepared of roasted rabbit with butter, tarragon and sweet potatoes. “I used to think that you could only get processed food and government cheese on food stamps, but it’s great that you can get anything.”

The USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service did not respond to request for comment.

Like the song says . . . .
