The authors point of view I believe is that instead of giving the food pantry unhealthy foods we should be giving them healthy food like fruits and veggies.
"So why can't food stamps include subsidies for the purchase of healthy foods, rather than those so high in sugar (corn) and fats (soy)?" was asked. I think the reasoning for this is because America is obese therefore maybe if we cut down on the unhealthy food, more people would live a longer life. "State efforts, like allocating $20 million a year to encourage food stamp recipients to patronize farmers markets, should be increased as well." was also stated. I think the author also wants to get the point across that our government should be doing more on this situation. Overall I agree with the authors point on how we should start taking action in making American more healthy.
