A county official says food stamp recipients have grown by almost 70 percent in two years. San Diego Fact Check finds that the statistic is true: food stamp use is way up.
The county, which has been criticized over its unusually strict approach to helping the needy, still approves applications for food stamps less often than other places in the state.
A coming change to food stamp program is that "homeless, disabled and elderly people who cannot cook," the North County Times says, will be permitted to "use their debit cards to buy meals at restaurants".
