Senate Ag Chair John Boozman (R-Ark.) told Politico this week he thinks including hot rotisserie chicken in the SNAP program has a “good chance” of being included in the final farm bill. “It was very popular in the House,” said Boozman. “A lot of our members favor it, so we’ll have to wait and see.”

Sen. Jim Justice (R-W.Va.), who co-sponsored the bipartisan Senate bill, said he’s pushing to include the language in the Senate farm bill. “Why in the world wouldn’t we want to have children and families to be able to have warm meals if we can?” Justice said. “And I just hope to goodness that we can secure it over here on this side.”
