BUT THAT IS AN IDEA.
I THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING
TO TALK ABOUT IT QUITE A BIT
NOW.
A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT
THAT.
YOUR REALITY CHECK LAST NIGHT
LOOKED INTO WHAT WOULD BE
INSIDE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S
PROPOSED HARVEST BOX THAT WOULD
BE GIVEN TO NEEDY FAMILIES
INSTEAD OF FOOD STAMPS.
WHAT'S SOME OF THE STUFF IN
THERE?
THIS IS INTERESTING.
THEY WANT TO UP END AND OVER
HAUL THE WAY PEOPLE GET FOOD
STAMPS.
RIGHT NOW THEY USE AN
ELECTRONIC BENEFITS CARD IN
GROCERY STORES BUT THE
PRESIDENT WANTS TO PUT
GOVERNMENT ISSUED FOOD IN BOXES
AND HAVE IT DELIVERED TO THE
PEOPLE DIRECTLY.
NOW THEY COMPARE IT TO BLUE
APRON THAT FOOD DELIVERY
SERVICE FOR YOUNG
PROFESSIONALS, YOUNG
MILLENNIALS.
IT AIN'T THAT.
THIS IS PREPACKAGED FOOD,
CANNED MEAT, SHELF STABLE MILK,
THAT KIND OF STUFF THAT THEN
WOULD BE DELIVERED.
STILL A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT
IT AND A LOT OF PUSH BACK ON
THAT.
THIS MORNING, HERE AT THE
MINNESOTA STATE CAPITAL WE ARE
GOING TO SEE FOR THE FIRST TIME
A CAUCUS REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS COMING TOGETHER TO
TALK ABOUT CHILD HUNGER AND THE
FOOD STAMP PROGRAM IS WILDLY
SUCCESSFUL AND WE POINTED OUT
WHO GETS IT.
44% OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
HUNGRY AND WHOSE FAMILIES ARE
ON FOOD STAMPS ARE CHILDREN,
44%.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE ARE LOOKING
AT NOW AND A DEBATE WE ARE
GOING TO SEE OVER THE NEXT
YEAR.
I'M ALSO CURIOUS TO KNOW WHO
IS GOING TO PACK THEM AND DO
THE DELIVERING.
A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
THE STATES ARE GOING TO DO
IT AND THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.
SO MUCH.
