USDA threatens food security

[Mr.Bill]

1. In addition to feeding the hungry,

the grocery industry benefits greatly from SNAP. A good friend of mine owns a franchise discount grocery store in our small town. he says up to 70% of his business comes from SNAP. his business couldn't exist without it. He employs over 50 people.


SNAP does much more than just give food to poor people. It's been around so long it's an essential component of our food supply system that everyone benefits from. I don't receive SNAP, but I benefit from the presence of that discount store. I do lots of shopping there and save money every week that I can then spend at other local businesses.
