As mw13 pointed out in my response to your post I was not weighing in on whether one should or shouldn’t use food stamps.

I’m sure you are aware of the chilul Hashem being caused by our kiyum hamitzvah of Bris Milah. Many people feel we are acting in the same way we look at those who perform female circumcision and there have been times where they pushed to out-law it. Should we stop doing bris milah to prevent this chilul Hashem or do we do mitzvos even when the rest of the world looks down on us because of it?
