Mike Conaway: “One-size-fits-all has a certain elegant simplicity to it, but nobody wants that.”

The Farmers to Families Food Box Program (FFFBP) was the victim of a rushed process that included no engagement with current distributors and nonprofits and resulted in cherry-picked contractors who were not qualified.

Given the effectiveness of the Food for Peace Program, I believe, and the support from stakeholders, it is clear and important that we maintain that bipartisan effort.

We urge Congress to continue to provide people the means to access healthy food.

I am all for that, but just to have an open-ended check I don't think is necessarily a good idea.
