It IS NOT the business of government to monitor food distribution. We ARE NOT a centrally planned economy.
This is yet another program wasting money. FUBO

We need to go back to a day when we all had a garden, and some chickens and had livestock to keep our grass mowed.
But Monsanto and the factory food producers would make sure that they bought off our Congresspeople so that a national law was passed outlawing such activity as unhealthy.

I saw their food desert map a while back. Huge swaths of virtually uninhabited lands were shown as food deserts.
Just maybe they don’t have grocery stores where few people live. My tiny town isn’t a food desert and I have to drive 10 miles to a grocery store.

Less true every day.

Apparently, the gubmint thinks farmers in these rural areas don't get enough vegetables. They must leave their tomato patches to drive into town for a big mac at dinnertime.
To: don-o; Mrs. Don-o
I think we need first hand reports on this, what’s for supper?

It sounds like another program to create victims where there are no victims.

...there are nine counties in those two states where the only food sources are either fast food restaurants or small scale convenience stores a classification considered an unnutritious choice by the Obama Administration and federal nutrition experts.No one has a kitchen or a garden in nine counties?
BS.

“The Department of Health and Human Service announced earlier this month the allocation of over $10 million to help projects in more than 6,500 locations who received the designation get nutritious, more vegetable- based items to their residents.”
We don't need their stinking government handouts.

That sounds like the lead in to a Grampa Jones comedy routine!

whats for supper? Well, breakfast consisted of some greens with garlic from Mr's D's plantings; along with some noodles and smoked oysters from the grocery.
Supper dessert (here in the desert) will be Key Lime Pie - don't know about nutritious, but I know tasty.
Y'all getting any rain, ST? We have had showers of blessing the past week or two.
