“The sour cherry producers lobbied for USDA support, since they can’t sell enough of their produce, so federal money is buying their crops, and sending them to food banks. Tragically, these cherries are packed in the most unhealthy stabilizer - corn syrup. Our broken food system ends up sending this high sugar, low nutrition food to hungry people who are at high risk of having diabetes. Our food system is broken and locally sourced hunger relief can heal people.”
