bonuri pentru alimente
Explanation:
Aceasta este doar o alta varianta a celor doua raspunsuri precedente.

In opinia mea "tichete" suna ca si cum este vorba de tichete cumparate si nu oferite gratis; iar "cupoane" suna a rationare sau cartele.

Tichet de masă


Explanation:
Cred ca este vorbe despre programul social din USA prin care familiile cu venituri mai mici sunt ajutate sa cumpere mancare la preturi reduse. Colectioneaza "food stamps" (eu le-as spune "tichete sau bonuri de masa" si cumpara mai ieftin. Colegi din USA, nu-i asa? Iata ce am gasit la link-ul de mai jos:
Food Stamp Program
Food Stamp Benefits.
Food stamp benefits are used to buy food
and help low-income households obtain more nutritious diets...

agree  Elvira Stoianov: tinand cont ca la noi se dau bonuri de masa tuturor, as prefera tichete de masa, sau chiar gasirea unui termen care sa nu te duca cu gandul la sistemul nostru, care e diferit (la noi nu este progr. social)

cupon de alimente


Explanation:
I would say that's even better than cupon/tichet de masa (ceea ce nu e rau). The difference is that with a food stamp (cupon de alimente) you can actually buy groceries and not only a meal (masa, in Romanian).

agree  Andrei Albu: Cred ca asta-i cea mai buna varianta. Cuponul este o chestie care se decupeaza, iar food stamps, dupa cate stiu, chiar se decupeaza.
