    The article says it straight up...

    It is an act of SPITE.

    And now the food chain oligarchs are passing more processed food on to the folks who could benefit the most from fresh produce.

    Sonny Perdue was the best AG leader this country has seen in decades and now Bitter Biden has to curtail what any fair minded individual can plainly see was a good idea.

    It was a popular win for the farmers and a popular win for the consumers but not for the food chain oligarchs.

    Shameful...

    Was an actual humane attempt by the RW to do something good (Who knew?), but as always, the execution was lacking

    SNIP
    While food bank operators are thankful for the large volumes of fresh food from the food box program - and they stress that aid is still needed - many say far more families could have been fed by sticking to existing programs with proven quality and oversight.

    T**** the idiot STARTED this program out of spite of existing programs... that he didn't (and evidently couldn't) create....

    This is China. Farm assistance programs are being cut across the board because China has a far easier time buying up US farmlands and convincing US growers to produce the exports they need when America's farmers are in a weakened economic state. Remember when the WTO claimed that Pres Trump violated international trade regulations when he increased American farm assistance programs back in 2018? Its because China wasn't happy their buying position was impacted by US farming stability.

    China owns Pres Biden so expect more of this to continue. In fact, food prices will be one of the three catalysts for the incoming major recession we're going to experience before the decade is out (the other two being fuel prices and inflation). This has all been engineered and Pres Biden's victory moved it from the planning phase to the execution phase. I do hope you're all planning accordingly because the markers for this impending crash are predictable and thus navigable.

    We're any other reasons for ending program given by the administration?

    Pardon me if I suspect their may be more behind this decision then "spite".

    GA star news seems a little suspicious. It has the appearance of a local media outlet but looking at the news stories (going to their home page) it seems to be heavily partison. Do you know anything about this site?

    Wait a minute! Whenever we note to the leftist that our poor eat themselves to death they claim that is because they do not have access to better food so they HAVE to eat processed food that is bad for them, not true but that is their claim. So here is a program that does distributed unprocessed straight from the farm food to the poor and they complain about that.

    I can't even find why the Biden administration is ending it except for it was a Trump program that worked.

    It had some issues.. Imagine that a new program running into issues...

    I can see why a racist like Biden would rather poor people eat processed crap rather then fresh food. Specially during a pandemic i mean why would you want people at the highest risk to have access to free fresh food? /facepalm

    I found this.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/thecou...tion-usda-food-box-program-covid-vilsack/amp/

    I could be wrong but I suspect the pandemic created a problem with food distribution to the needy so Trump helped create a program that was needed quickly to compensate for a lack of logistics created by covid.

    The program was fine for what it was but now that we have more time and covid is diminishing they are trying to streamline the program.

    This is a lot of supposition on my part but that is what I suspect without partison blinders being on which seems pretty popular these days.

    Please stop with such measured responses. This thread was started so that MAGA people could do some good old fashioned, foaming from the mouth rants. Your well thought out response is interfering with that. Please don't post if you are actually going to think about
    what you are posting.

    Seems to be a good program for both the farmers and the low income consumers regardless of the pandemic.

    “There was significant difference of administrative costs. In some cases, people were charged a tremendous amount just to fill the boxes,” Vilsack explained. “There was inadequate accounting of where the boxes were actually delivered. There was a lot of food waste and loss that we uncovered as a result of these listening sessions.”

    It needs an upgrade to be more efficient and cost effective.

    Jesus Johnny Christ!?! Why all the difficulty grasping that big buck donors to politicians can expect tangible returns on their investments, much safer than playing the market.

    Yeap fresh healthy food is more expensive than canned processed junk and canned junk is a hell of a lot more efficient logistically. We get it, trust me we get

    It sound similar to Trumps vaccine program.
    You buy something and just dump it somewhere and declare victory.

    The program was launched in response to reports of agricultural produce going to waste because of disruptions to the supply chain caused by the pandemic. But it was plagued with problems, including erratic deliveries and wildly varying prices. The cost was $4 billion, which is six times the USDA’s normal emergency food budget, according to Reuters.

    If you're presenting this as an argument, it's bad. The biggest flaw is WHY? Why would Biden do what you accuse him of? How does China OWN him? You have given zero evidence for your claims.
