WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is counting on a variety of private-sector partnerships to help fund and implement its ambitious goal of ending hunger in America by 2030.
Biden’s administration released a list of more than $8 billion in commitments to the cause from private companies, charitable foundations and industry groups. They range from outright donations to in-kind contributions of services and include:
—A $20 million commitment from the Novo Nordisk pharmaceutical company to improve access to healthy foods and safe spaces for physical activity in marginalized communities.
—A $3.85 million commitment from the Publix grocery store chain to supply food to local food banks and establish free mobile food pantries.
—$22 million from the Danone food company to fund a program to help “at least 300 million Americans to build healthier dietary habits.”
—A commitment from the Meijer grocery store chain to offer up to a 10% discount to incentivize users of the SNAP program to buy fruits and vegetables.

Corporate virtue signaling. EBT cards good for rice and beans only. Problem solved.
This will be a complete failure. Heck, within a YEAR, millions of Americans might be hungry. Real, gnawing, thought-controlling, I-don’t-remember-last-time-I-ate hunger, not “I need a snack, look, there’s a 7/11.”

SOOOO-—STOP the basic products that fertilize farm fields-—and then promise to “end hunger”.
Biden’s plan to end hunger is to eliminate the hungry.
Yeah, but you have to remember that a lot of people have made a cozy living off these noble attempts.
Like the 47 Somalis in Michigan. But, hey, who knows more about hunger than the Somalis.
I ended it by eating lunch.
All the actions listed create greater dependency on the government. It will result in greater control by the government over peoples lives. IOW - more Fascism.
Here’s an idea: First end the invasion of our southern border.
Reminds me of the scene in Blazing Saddles, the toll booth in the middle of the desert.
The government is pretending there's a hunger problem to keep the money rolling of which they get a cut.
It’s fighting hunger AND obesity.
Seriously.
That’s what they said.
