The Department of Agriculture moved Friday to "cease future
production" of advertisements that encourage people to go on food
stamps, FoxNews.com has learned, following criticism over what was
described as an "aggressive" campaign to grow enrollment.
The department had come under fire for a 10-part series of
Spanish-language "novelas" that trumpeted the benefits of the food stamp
program. The radio ads were produced in 2008, but continued to be
available for use.
After those ads drew scrutiny, though, the USDA removed them from its website.
