And retailers that accept SNAP benefits are required to stock a variety of staple foods — including a minimum number of fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy and grain options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, there's a controversy brewing over which foods count as staples. Should beef jerky, spray cheese and \u003cem>queso\u003c/em> dip count? The Trump administration has proposed a rule that would allow retailers to include these items.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Trump administration would weaken what stores would have to offer,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://cspinet.org/biography/margo-wootan\">Margo Wootan\u003c/a> of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group. She says this could result in fewer healthy options in convenience and corner stores where SNAP recipients spend about $3 billion in benefits each year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rule written during the Obama administration would require retailers to stock at least seven different products in each of four key food categories — fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy and grains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the change proposed by the Trump administration, retailers could stock dried meats — such as beef jerky — and shelf-stable, processed cheese products to help them meet their meat and dairy requirements. And this may offset the need to offer as many fresh meat and dairy products. Wootan's complaint about this policy: \"Very few families would serve up a Slim Jim as the main course in a meal,\" she says. It's a snack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Wootan and I tour a convenience store in Washington, D.C., she points to aisles filled with snack food. \"Almost all of this is chips, snack cakes, candy,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says SNAP benefits are intended to provide people with foods they can cook at home. And it would be helpful if convenience stores made it possible for families to do \"a real shop for foods they can prepare into meals,\" Wootan says — more like a grocery store. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have shown that a \u003ca href=\"http://thefoodtrust.org/uploads/media_items/access-to-healthy-food.original.pdf\">lack of easy access to healthy foods\u003c/a> — whether it's due to living in an urban \"food desert\" or in a rural area with no supermarket — is one contributor to poor nutrition and obesity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it's also true that in some areas, convenience stores fill a gap. \"We offer the majority of healthy foods,\" says Robert Forsyth, who operates the MotoMart chain of convenience stores across six Midwestern states, including Illinois, Wisconsin and Ohio. His family has been in the business for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says there was a time when you would only see cigarettes and candy bars at gas station stores. \"We've been in the business so long, we remember before convenience stores were really a thing,\" Forsyth says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, people come in \"to buy orange juice and milk and — in our stores — apples, oranges, bananas,\" he says. He also points to an array of nuts, whole-grain breads and yogurts that his stores stock. \"Lots of good, healthy products,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forsyth supports the Trump administration's proposed rule changes. In a letter to the USDA, he asked the agency to give retailers even more flexibility in determining which foods meet the requirements. He also defends products such as beef jerky — which he says are popular, nutritious and affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Affordability is a huge aspect,\" Forsyth says. He says he can only stay in business if he sells items that people want to buy. \"It doesn't do me any good to sell almond milk and goat cheese,\" because he says his customers don't want them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got to meet SNAP recipients where they are,\" Forsyth says. And he doesn't like the idea of beef jerky or processed cheese being singled out. \"I think it's an elitist attitude.\" He says the rules written during the Obama administration would have hurt his business. \"The situation is the law would have squeezed out convenience store operators\" from being able to accept SNAP benefits. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He agrees that people should be taught more about good nutrition. \"We need to educate people on their choices and we need to make sure they have a variety of healthy choices to choose from,\" Forsyth says. But the rules shouldn't be so strict that they undermine his business. He says if convenience stores were squeezed out of some of the small towns where he operates, such as Plover, Wis., and Galion, Ohio, some of his customers who live miles from a major supermarket and don't have easy access to transportation would be left with fewer food-shopping options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The\u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/04/05/2019-06597/providing-regulatory-flexibility-for-retailers-in-the-supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap\"> public comment period\u003c/a> on this proposed rule ends Tuesday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Copyright 2019 NPR.

And retailers that accept SNAP benefits are required to stock a variety of staple foods — including a minimum number of fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy and grain options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, there's a controversy brewing over which foods count as staples. Should beef jerky, spray cheese and \u003cem>queso\u003c/em> dip count? The Trump administration has proposed a rule that would allow retailers to include these items.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Trump administration would weaken what stores would have to offer,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://cspinet.org/biography/margo-wootan\">Margo Wootan\u003c/a> of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group. She says this could result in fewer healthy options in convenience and corner stores where SNAP recipients spend about $3 billion in benefits each year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rule written during the Obama administration would require retailers to stock at least seven different products in each of four key food categories — fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy and grains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the change proposed by the Trump administration, retailers could stock dried meats — such as beef jerky — and shelf-stable, processed cheese products to help them meet their meat and dairy requirements. And this may offset the need to offer as many fresh meat and dairy products. Wootan's complaint about this policy: \"Very few families would serve up a Slim Jim as the main course in a meal,\" she says. It's a snack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Wootan and I tour a convenience store in Washington, D.C., she points to aisles filled with snack food. \"Almost all of this is chips, snack cakes, candy,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says SNAP benefits are intended to provide people with foods they can cook at home. And it would be helpful if convenience stores made it possible for families to do \"a real shop for foods they can prepare into meals,\" Wootan says — more like a grocery store. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have shown that a \u003ca href=\"http://thefoodtrust.org/uploads/media_items/access-to-healthy-food.original.pdf\">lack of easy access to healthy foods\u003c/a> — whether it's due to living in an urban \"food desert\" or in a rural area with no supermarket — is one contributor to poor nutrition and obesity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it's also true that in some areas, convenience stores fill a gap. \"We offer the majority of healthy foods,\" says Robert Forsyth, who operates the MotoMart chain of convenience stores across six Midwestern states, including Illinois, Wisconsin and Ohio. His family has been in the business for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says there was a time when you would only see cigarettes and candy bars at gas station stores. \"We've been in the business so long, we remember before convenience stores were really a thing,\" Forsyth says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, people come in \"to buy orange juice and milk and — in our stores — apples, oranges, bananas,\" he says. He also points to an array of nuts, whole-grain breads and yogurts that his stores stock. \"Lots of good, healthy products,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forsyth supports the Trump administration's proposed rule changes. In a letter to the USDA, he asked the agency to give retailers even more flexibility in determining which foods meet the requirements. He also defends products such as beef jerky — which he says are popular, nutritious and affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Affordability is a huge aspect,\" Forsyth says. He says he can only stay in business if he sells items that people want to buy. \"It doesn't do me any good to sell almond milk and goat cheese,\" because he says his customers don't want them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got to meet SNAP recipients where they are,\" Forsyth says. And he doesn't like the idea of beef jerky or processed cheese being singled out. \"I think it's an elitist attitude.\" He says the rules written during the Obama administration would have hurt his business. \"The situation is the law would have squeezed out convenience store operators\" from being able to accept SNAP benefits. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He agrees that people should be taught more about good nutrition. \"We need to educate people on their choices and we need to make sure they have a variety of healthy choices to choose from,\" Forsyth says. But the rules shouldn't be so strict that they undermine his business. He says if convenience stores were squeezed out of some of the small towns where he operates, such as Plover, Wis., and Galion, Ohio, some of his customers who live miles from a major supermarket and don't have easy access to transportation would be left with fewer food-shopping options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The\u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/04/05/2019-06597/providing-regulatory-flexibility-for-retailers-in-the-supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap\"> public comment period\u003c/a> on this proposed rule ends Tuesday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Copyright 2019 NPR.

But sales grew modestly each year. Its customers reflect today’s West Oakland: a diverse group of local residents, including people of color and low-income residents, commuters (it’s opposite a BART stop), and a new wave of workers from San Francisco. Some are priced out of the city, some prefer the culture of West Oakland over the current climate in San Francisco, and some are well-compensated tech employees. The co-op also cultivates a strong youth culture among worker-owners and customers alike. The mix has helped keep the co-op’s doors open during tough times while also staying true to its mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this isn’t a generic grocery store, nor is it some hippie counterculture co-op. It’s a modern market, with murals of African Americans on its window and a playlist that reflects the staff’s tastes. “We’ve succeeded because we’ve created a comfortable vibe,” says Fike, 35, of the team, which currently consists of three other co-owners and a half-dozen candidates on track to become co-owners. “It reflects the foodways, art, and style of African American culture and the people who work in the store are personable and genuine. Customers like the staff, the energy, the music.” All this helps make the co-op a destination, which is key since consumers can otherwise buy everything they need without ever leaving the house. “Everything about my workplace is gratifying—on both sides of the counter,” says Fike. “There’s respect from my co-workers and from the customers for what we’re doing here. We’re creating community and culture and, as a former anthropology student, that’s what’s most interesting to me. It is at the heart of what it means to be human.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129258\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new.jpg\" alt=\"In the co-op model, every worker-owner has a voice at the table.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129258\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In the co-op model, every worker-owner has a voice at the table. \u003ccite>(Fabián Aguirre and Maya Pisciotto, \u003ca href=\"http://www.theunderstory.co\">The Understory \u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The co-op measures success in many ways.

The co-op originally wanted to occupy the space but lost out years earlier to a national chain store. The co-op’s first location is just 2,500-square-feet, and some of that space houses a separate café. For years, the store—with its local produce and perishables, bulk-bin offerings, and dry goods—had to compete for customers with a 99 Cents Only Store next door (that store, which closed in early 2017, offered conventional packaged foods and produce at a deep discount).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129256\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.7.1-new.jpg\" alt=\"The cooperative measures success in many ways.

But sales grew modestly each year. Its customers reflect today’s West Oakland: a diverse group of local residents, including people of color and low-income residents, commuters (it’s opposite a BART stop), and a new wave of workers from San Francisco. Some are priced out of the city, some prefer the culture of West Oakland over the current climate in San Francisco, and some are well-compensated tech employees. The co-op also cultivates a strong youth culture among worker-owners and customers alike. The mix has helped keep the co-op’s doors open during tough times while also staying true to its mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this isn’t a generic grocery store, nor is it some hippie counterculture co-op. It’s a modern market, with murals of African Americans on its window and a playlist that reflects the staff’s tastes. “We’ve succeeded because we’ve created a comfortable vibe,” says Fike, 35, of the team, which currently consists of three other co-owners and a half-dozen candidates on track to become co-owners. “It reflects the foodways, art, and style of African American culture and the people who work in the store are personable and genuine. Customers like the staff, the energy, the music.” All this helps make the co-op a destination, which is key since consumers can otherwise buy everything they need without ever leaving the house. “Everything about my workplace is gratifying—on both sides of the counter,” says Fike. “There’s respect from my co-workers and from the customers for what we’re doing here. We’re creating community and culture and, as a former anthropology student, that’s what’s most interesting to me. It is at the heart of what it means to be human.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129258\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new.jpg\" alt=\"In the co-op model, every worker-owner has a voice at the table.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129258\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/BFI_B-roll_Adrionna_1.15.1-new-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In the co-op model, every worker-owner has a voice at the table. \u003ccite>(Fabián Aguirre and Maya Pisciotto, \u003ca href=\"http://www.theunderstory.co\">The Understory \u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The co-op measures success in many ways. Getting produce to the people is at its core: From 2013 to 2016, the store distributed more than 700,000 pounds of fresh produce, 46 percent of it from family farms within 200 miles of Oakland, helping keep small farmers on the land by boosting their income. The co-op has circulated more than $7 million within the local community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The store looks for ways to make eating well more affordable. It features innovative programing such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.mandelamarketplace.org/freshcreds\">Fresh Creds\u003c/a>, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap\">Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program\u003c/a> (SNAP or “food stamps”) match incentive. The co-op fulfills a federal grant secured by Mandela MarketPlace that entitles any shopper who spends money on fresh produce, frozen fruits and vegetables, or canned fruits and vegetable without added sugar to a 50 percent discount on those items. It’s been a hit with customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cooperative also offers an owner like Fike the chance to be part of a business based on equality and inclusion in pay, profit-sharing, and a voice at the table. “This is a sustainable model,” says Fike. “When you operate ethically with integrity, honesty, and transparency, people respond to that and are inspired by that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Reprinted with permission from \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://food.berkeley.edu/resources/changemakers/\">Hungry for Change\u003c/a>\u003cem>, a publication of the \u003ca href=\"https://food.berkeley.edu/\">Berkeley Food Institute\u003c/a>.

Conaway wants to eliminate a requirement that the Environmental Protection Agency consult with the other agencies, such as the Department of Interior, to determine whether a new pesticide could harm threatened or endangered species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/\">Center for Biological Diversity\u003c/a> said that this proposed change would \" ignore pesticides' harms to endangered species and eviscerate all meaningful protections for fish, animals and plants under the Endangered Species Act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The draft bill proposes other small changes in farm policy that reflect new concerns.

The vast majority of these subsidies go to the most widely planted crops: corn, cotton, peanuts, rice, soybeans, and wheat. The bill also maintains restrictions on sugar imports that prop up the price of domestically produced sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These subsidies have come under increasing criticism in recent years. Public health advocates \u003ca href=\"https://www.heart.org/idc/groups/heart-public/@wcm/@adv/documents/downloadable/ucm_429110.pdf\">say\u003c/a> that government subsidies, if they exist at all, should promote the most nutritious crops, such as vegetables and fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmentalists, meanwhile, are condemning a provision in Conaway's draft that would amend a completely separate law, one that governs pesticides. Conaway wants to eliminate a requirement that the Environmental Protection Agency consult with the other agencies, such as the Department of Interior, to determine whether a new pesticide could harm threatened or endangered species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/\">Center for Biological Diversity\u003c/a> said that this proposed change would \" ignore pesticides' harms to endangered species and eviscerate all meaningful protections for fish, animals and plants under the Endangered Species Act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The draft bill proposes other small changes in farm policy that reflect new concerns. It authorizes an expansion in enforcement of the National Organic Program to prevent fraudulent labeling of imports as organic. If passed, it would also authorize more funding to promote farmers' markets, and to fight the growing problem of wild pigs that have been destroying crops in certain areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Farm Bill traditionally comes up for renewal every five years.
