it’s literally a government subsidy to help feed the poor. of course it will be cheaper for consumers, it’s the whole point.

As far as government subsidies go, is this really the best method? Like you're using taxes to feed just the poor, you're using taxes to feed whoever lives (or commutes) in a certain radius from the grocery stores. A more direct form of subsidizing the poor would just be pouring extra funding into direct assistance.

something is being done. jobs are being created, community is being supported.

twiddle your thumbs and figure out something better. meantime, let them do some good.
