Government must stop subsidizing unhealthy foods
We are fortunate to have affordable food options in our grocery stores. This is partly thanks to a government program protecting farmers.
Just 6 commoditiesโcorn, soy, wheat, cotton, peanuts, riceโaccount for 94% of FCIP support. Many of these are not used to provide affordable nutrition but are heavily processed into the fillers and sugars that are likely a large part of peopleโs health problems

Houston faces First Amendment lawsuit for cracking down on feeding the homeless
Food Not Bombs activists argue that feeding the needy is core political speech, and they don't need the city's permission to do it.
"For months, Houston police have been citing and arresting local volunteers for the radical act of feeding the needy. Now the city is facing a lawsuit alleging that its crackdown on charitable giving violates the First Amendment," writes @cjciaramella.bsky.social. reason.com/2024/02/02/h...
