U.S. The so-called USDA America's Harvest Box would contain items such as shelf-stable milk, juice, grains, cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans, canned meat, poultry or fish, and canned fruits and vegetables.

Amazon sells items for profit. They can mark up their price to make up for their shipping costs and/or charge for shipping.

KILBOTz 02/14/18 2:03:17 PM #185:	I think there is some merit to this idea in principle. Doing it with all the processed food though probably isn't the right step. Decentralize this giving grants to local food banks with dietary guidelines. Let them get in season fresh fruit and vegetables when available and much cheaper than the processed, centrally distributed stuff. Food banks can go really far with each dollar spent and they would be able to better serve their community than a centralized plan just looking to make Kellogg more money. --- http://i.imgur.com/O3syCWD.gif http://i.imgur.com/k3YiBdG.gif <cite>KILBOTz posted [p:896077245] in Trump admi...
