I imagine them somewhat different: food by subscription but paid by the government instead of financial aid to ensure people eat healthy.

2. Perhaps. However, as a food provider, I would be less willing to provide if I knew that the food was going to "just anyone". I would be much more likely to sign up if I knew it was going to the disadvantaged. There's an Australian organization called OzHarvest who does a similar thing, but gets food from restaurants. It's an incredibly successful social venture.
