Canceling Food Program

@Convivial last I checked, US farmers produced something like 4000 calories a day for every man, woman and child in the US, plenty enough food to make us all obese. The US also imports volumes of food from elsewhere around the globe, to the point where those foods knock homegrown off the shelves of US supermarkets because of uneven regulations. Leveling the playing fields will mean that we in the US can enjoy shrimp from US shrimpers rather than from Shrimp from Asian shrimpers, maple syrup from US producers rather than Canadian producers, citrus from the US rather than from Central America.

Excess foods can be converted to bio fuels,

My experience with feeding programs says that that we are overstuffing Americas poor. Add WIC, SNAP, free school meals, and outreach programs like Harvesters together and the outcome is obese children. Yes, we have the hungry poor, but that’s because we lack adults to feed the poor or distribute what’s sitting in warehouses. And because regulations facilitate food deserts and politicians have destroyed our micro economy.

@Convivial What bothers me the most is that the programs which feed the children are being cut. You don’t see the conservative “Evangelical Christians” who voted for tRUMP taking over those programs, do you?

My church use to have a food bank. It cost us a lot, but it filled a big need in the community. There were no conditions put on its use, many local businesses helped support us. Eventually, the unemployment went down, wages came up, and Public Aid became sufficient that the need went away and the program died by attrition.

You can bet that the MAGAs don’t gave a damn about the damage they’re causing…

@KunsanVeteran they don't... Up until the point it starts to affect them...
