The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest amount of free Meals and Food Stamps ever, to 46 million people.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the  Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." Their stated reason  for the policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on handouts and  will not learn to take care of themselves."

This ends today's lesson in Irony.
