Perhaps the biggest surprise in the blueprint was a proposed SNAP overhaul, part of the administration's sweeping plan to save more than $213 billion from the program over 10 years.

The deets: The concept would take about half of the money most families receive from SNAP and replace it with what the USDA is calling "America's Harvest Box." That package would be made up of "100-percent U.S. grown and produced food" and would include items like shelf-stable milk, peanut butter, canned fruits and meats, and cereal. 

Perdue's big idea: White House OMB Director Mick Mulvaney on Monday credited USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue for the coming up with the concept during a briefing at the White House. "We thought it was a tremendous idea," Mulvaney said.

Blue Apron wannabe: Mulvaney called it a "Blue Apron-type program" - a nod to the high-end meal kit delivery company (which actually isn't doing so hot on the public markets). But USDA's version won't have fresh items, like produce or meats, which perish quickly and are incredibly expensive to sort, package and ship. Retailers and anti-hunger groups are also not thrilled with the idea.
