The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is the federal executive department that develops laws related to food, farming, etc. The organization is made up of 29 agencies and offices with almost 100,000 employees and 4,500 locations both domestic and international. Supposedly, the USDA makes suggestions and creates guidelines about nutrition that are meant to help Americans live healthier lives. However, their recent proposed changes for the Women, Infants & Children food program seem to be doing the very opposite.
