    How is it more efficient to get a major subset of the community to grocery stores then to distribute the groceries to the communities that don’t have access?

    Its worked where tried, there is no reason we can’t scale it more.

      You have no idea what you are talking about. Food stamps is about 100B per year we have never moved that much physical food for anything but a massive massive overhead. There is every reason to believe we can’t scale it up without massive overhead because its a massive endeavor that existing supply chains are already handling. It would be comparatively trivial to give recipients a boost in money to buy fresh produce from existing grocery stores.
