When they assert that some large percentage of US food goes to garbage, they want you to ignore that many pig farmers get a contract to collect food garbage from government eateries (like prisons or schools) and the garbage goverment food is fed to pigs) with supplemental food used to correct for any nutrients not in the garbage.

Very interesting. I'd be willing to bet that most people are unaware of that.
I think that the point here is not that it can't be done, but that there is a fairly substantial number in our society that believe that no one, including those on welfare and other public assistance programs should have to make ends meet. If I were accepting welfare or food stamps, I wouldn't expect to have the same diet as I have as a self-supporting citizen. No one in this country should be a slave to another.
When we start a government program, I would hope that they start it with things that are less important and less complex. For example, rather than government controlled healthcare, we should prove the principle with government controlled shoes.
Have the government experts design shoes. Have them provide them for free. Have the government manufacture them in their own factories. Then, to prove the superiority of the government shoe program, measure what market share the government shoes gets.
I bet that would alert women to the abomination that is the typical government program.
