The Democrat Party would LOVE to have direct control over food distribution in the USA.

I can think of several big time liberals that would have near cosmic orgasms if they could control the masses with food or any other staple.

It’s called “rationing”. At some point every command-and-control economy must resort to using it. There will ALWAYS be scarcities, even in times of plenty, which are few enough in any command-and-control economic system, that does not rely on market forces to balance supply with demand.
