Farmers blast McAuliffe’s hunger game

RICHMOND, Va. — Market-minded Virginia farmers aren’t buying into Terry McAuliffe’s government initiative aimed at feeding more hungry children.

Bernadette Barber, head of Virginia Food Freedom, opined, “How much better would it be to allow a child to grow his own broccoli, make soup and sell it to his friends?”
