SAN ANTONIO – Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced Sunday that the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has received federal approval for SNAP recipients to use their food benefits to purchase hot foods and ready-to-eat meals due to the severe weather in Texas.

“As we continue to recover from this winter storm, the state is ensuring that Texans in need have access to hot food to feed their families,” Abbott said in a statement. “I thank our federal partners at the U.S. Department of Agriculture for approving this waiver.”

Xi Jinping’s government has long made self-sufficiency in food a “top state issue” as it seeks to avert a looming food crisis. The need to modernize China’s 200 million largely small-scale farms took on added urgency during the pandemic, when output and logistics disruptions coincided with homebound shoppers turning to Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and other internet retailers

It’s been a few years since the Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat burgers began showing up in grocery stores and restaurants.

Gina Loera, 61, rode her bike to a store near downtown in San Antonio with her dog, Sandy, riding along in a basket wearing sunglasses. “It’s a Texas institution,” she said.

Her husband, she said, works in an H-E-B warehouse, loading trucks. “They do a lot for people here in Texas,” Ms. Loera said. “They are good to their employees, too — good raises, good health care. They have their own doctors, too. Their own clinics here in town.”

Brock Sol said he was drawn to the store by the prices. “I’m homeless so it’s tough to find things cheap

SALT LAKE CITY — Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Savaiinaea family in Provo decided to share some of their favorite family and cultural comfort food with their friends and neighbors.

Under the name SaWrap, Lola and Nathan Savaiinaea began offering lumpias from their home kitchen. Lumpias are similar to an egg roll, but can be served fried or unfried, sweet or savory and are a favorite in Filipino culture.

But while Lola Savaiinaea said they have a food handler’s permits and a business license, such “microkitchen” operations aren’t currently covered by Utah law. However much trust their friends and neighbors
