this leads to the question, has the culture changed at usda?reg: it has been a very subtle and slow process. this is something that because it had been play -- been in place for so long, it takes a while to root out that kind of thinking and access to these funds. under the recent trump administration, less than 1% of all farm loans were given to african-american farmers. this is in 2016 to 2020. there is still some sense of concern by those like jon voight who continues to advocate and others like him -- john boyd who continues to advocate and others like him. they continue to fight for black farmers that continue to be discriminated against. there has been some progress. i think this pigford case is part of that progress and shining a light on it and awareness. we see in this recent covid appropriations bill that black farmers were granted 5 billion dollars of debt relief, which i think is a second step after the initial pigford case of addressing the plight of black farmers. susan: how were the legal fees paid for the individuals in the clas

even fda and usda recognize this. they now recommend fewer than 10% of our calories come from sugar, but it could be less than that and it should be less than that. again, or not again since we haven't talked about this, sugar has been added to the majority of ultra- processed foods and has found its way into food that we don't think of as sweet, salad dressing, tomato sauce, pizza and so on. there is more sugar and salt hidden in our diets, hidden in ultra- processed foods, then we add to foods ourselves. that of course is largely unregulated. >> now to a topic that is near and dear to my heart, and that's children's health. of course i child's health begins with a healthy pregnancy, but children, addictive food, come what's in the food system right now, how that is not fair to people who don't have as much money. there's not as many healthy food choices. so children, food, and maybe start with the school lunch program that you talked about quite a bit. let's spend some time on children and the health and our food su

if i had limited or no access to usda programs, obviously my operation is significantly limited. so the american rescue plan's efforts to begin addressing the cumulative effect of that is commissioned terms of socially disadvantaged producers. secondly, you look at the covid relief packages that have been passed and distributed by usda prior to the american rescue plan, and you take a look at who disproportionately received the benefits of those covid payments, it's pretty clear that white farmers did pretty well under that program, because of the way it was structured on size and production. i think there is a very legitimate reason for doing what we are doing. it has to be complement it with additional steps which the american rescue plan provides, and equity commission to take a look at whether there are systemic errors that need to be removed at the department, and also taking a look at how we might be able to create better technical assistance, better access to land, better access to markets for socially disadvantaged producers and for local and regional food production. we

>> well, first of all, the fact is that those white farmers have had full advantage of all of the usdaghout the last 30, 40, 50 years. so, they've been able to expand and grow their operations. they've had multiple advantages in the system. and in the covid relief situation, in particular, they really were advantaged, as we just got finished discussing. and many of those farmers are not meant -- it's a couple, it's a man and a woman, husband and wife farming operation. so, this is really about speaking to the cumulative effect of discrimination that's occurred. i spoke to black farmers and i suspect that many of those black farmers would be more than happy to exchange places with their white counterparts, given the nature of the activities of usda over the last 30, 40 years, which has made it really difficult for black farmers, hispanic farmers, native american farmers to succeed. >> i want to ask you another question about another biden initiative, the goal of conserving at least 30% of america's land and waters by 2030. this is known as 30 by 30. how would this work without becoming

when i have full advantage of all the usda programs throughout the last 30 years, my operation could grow. i could invest in more land. could get the latest technology. i could plant my prop at just the right time. i could make more money. if i had limited access our no access to usda programs obviously my operation significantly limited. so the american rescue plans effort is to begin addressing the cumulative effect of that discrimination in terms of socially disadvantaged producers. secondly, when you look at the covid relief packages that have been passed and distributed by usda prior to the american rescue plan, and you take a look at who disproportionately receive the benefits of those covid payments, it's pretty clear that white farmers did pretty well under that program because of the way it was structured. it structure and size and production. i think there is a very legitimate reason for doing what we are doing. i think it has to be complemented with additional steps which the american rescue plan provides, equity commission to take a look at whether or not the systemic bar

back in 2018 the farm bill instructed the the usda to lookslook into the think of thety food plan.er of 2020, that is when the bipartisan deal was negotiated by democrats and republicans. it was signed into law by the prior president. called for 15% increase of snap benefits from june 2020. american rescue plan, biden's plan extended that out through september of this year. if the think of thety food plan is altered, potential increase could be coming from the usda maybe at some point as early as october 1st. cheryl: blake burman from the white house, thank you. fox news contributor liz peek joins me right now. all right, liz what is your reaction with the biden administration possibly going around congressional republicans to increase food stamps? >> mystery is, cheryl, he doesn't need to do that. as blake reported we have seen an increase in snap benefits until september. we saw $12 billion in food benefits increases. it is not clear why the biden administration feels they have to circumvent congress. not anyone decided that people on food stamps shouldn't have more relief during
