California restaurants to get public money for healthy meals

FILE - In this March 17, 2020 file photo, Carmen Zamora shops at Northgate González Market in Santa Ana, Calif., during an early-hour shopping time for those over 65 and the disabled. Taxpayers will pay restaurants to make three meals a day for California's millions of seniors during the coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday, April 24, 2020, putting the industry back to work and generating sales tax collections for cash-strapped local governments.

“We want to ... have a diversity of options and make sure what we are sending to our seniors is low sodium and not high-fructose drinks or sugary drinks and the like,” Newsom said. Jot Condie, president and chief executive officer of the California Restaurant Association, said he believes restaurants can adapt to the requirements.

To be eligible, seniors must either live alone or live with one other person who is also eligible. They can’t earn more than $74,940 per year and they must have documented exposure to the coronavirus. Anyone already getting money from other federal food programs would be ineligible.

$66 per day!?! That's insane.

this is very good, helps seniors and the restaurant industry, plus allows the less vulnerable go out a bit more

Well done

Yeah everyone else stay locked up at home. This is what the Eagles meant Hotel California you can never leave

Now that’s the hand of the spirit of FDR! Elegantly simple yet benefiting many. And the ‘infrastructure of this problem is already in place.

chefjoseandres This was your plan right! AMAZING! Thank you GavinNewsom for hearing the Chef’s idea. 🙌❤️🙏

Good idea

genius!

China used Cuba’s drug Interferon Alfa 2B against Coronavirus. It seemed to do the job very well, theres no new cases in China now except the ones imported.

Or just end the shut down.
