I think we need to stop subsidizing wheat, corn and sugar. Then start subsidizing fruit and vegetables so they are affordable for people on SNAP benefits. Any producer who applies for a subsidy will need it to stay profitable. Then we could raise SNAP benefits to families, the elderly and the disabled.
