The gov't works out deals with food producers and distributors for a certain amount of food.

The farmers like it, because they might get less than market value during some years, but they might get above market in other years. It takes away some of the market uncertainty. Farmers don't like uncertainty. We get to support our farmers, and imo, encourage them to grow something besides corn and soybeans.

The distribution, including transportation, is also good for jobs.

The people getting the food can be more engaged in the broader economy. They might even be able to buy, dare I say it, things outside of just for necessity to live.

Whether MAGA likes it or not, government can produce value. This is a great example of how multiple demographics and economic sectors and benefit from government spending.

Plus, it's such a lame thing to attack. Taking food from the poor, wtf? That's disgracieful.
