Via The Atlantic: The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food.
Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people abroad who need it. Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food—enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week—are set to expire tomorrow, according to current and former government employees with direct knowledge of the rations.
[…]
Over the coming weeks, the food will be destroyed at a cost of $130,000 to American taxpayers (on top of the $800,000 used to purchase the biscuits), according to current and former federal aid workers I spoke with.
[…]
several of the aid workers I spoke with reiterated that they have never before seen the U.S. government simply give up on food that could have been put to good use.
It’s good to know that everything is fine and that DOGE’s effort saved the US money and led to positive outcomes!
It is quite a two-fer to waste almost a million dollars and deny food to 1.5 million children for a week!
