In Chapter 4, Section 4.3, we discussed the federal government’s agricultural program, which is often called the “farm bill.” Because the U.S. Department of Agriculture administers the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), more generally known as the food stamp program, its funding is included in the farm bill. Some members of Congress believe that spending on SNAP should be reduced. In an article in the Washington Post, Marion Nestle of New York University was quoted as arguing: “[The program is] at great risk, and what has saved it from being chopped up into little pieces is that it’s in the Farm Bill and therefore logrolled with agricultural supports.” Briefly explain what Nestle means by “logrolling” and evaluate her argument.
