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.

Thank God somebody is FINALLY doing something about hunger in America. It is so long overdue. It's a serious problem here. People are starving to death everywhere I look. Those food deserts are having a toll on us.

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.”

Fake news to distract from the currently orchestrated coming food shortage. AP is a globalist propaganda outlet.

Won’t happen. Libs are running it. This insures failure. They’ll never figure it out. Which is, of course, why they are libs.

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.

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.

Reminds me of the scene in Blazing Saddles, the toll booth in the middle of the desert.

Seriously, when's the last time you saw anyone who looked undernourished in this country?

The government is pretending there's a hunger problem to keep the money rolling of which they get a cut.
