Tony's Baltimore Grill in Atlantic City is currently open 24/7 and has recently gained attention for offering free kids' meals to families affected by the federal SNAP benefits freeze which begins on November 1, 2025.
The restaurant, an Atlantic City landmark since 1927, announced this initiative on social media, stating that any family receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits can show their EBT card and get as many free children's meals as needed, with no child going hungry.
This community effort has inspired other local businesses to follow suit. Tony's is known for its long history, classic Italian comfort food, late-night hours, and has maintained its authentic, old-school atmosphere despite changes in ownership over the years.

🚨WINSTON HAS NO INQUIRIES. Time is running out!! Winston is timestamped at the Trenton Animal Shelter for Wed, 11/5 due to overcrowding and urgently needs a foster, adopter, or rescue to save him🚨

Winston is a 70 lb senior pup, affectionally referred to as the “grumpy old man” of the shelter. He is looking for a calm, quiet environment to live out his golden years. Sometimes he is a little unsure of his environment and would benefit from positive reinforcement training techniques to build his confidence and make him feel secure. The shelter environment has been very stressful on him. ☹ He enjoys a routine and is house broken. He is tolerant of other calm dogs that respect his space. A meet and greet is always required with all family member, including the furry ones! Please share Winston!

Why Food Prices May Be Out Of Control
Start with a warehouse. In 1865, William Wallace Cargill bought a single grain warehouse in Iowa. That modest beginning became the seed for an empire. By the 21st century, this business had grown into Cargill Inc.—the largest privately-held company in the U.S., with revenues in the hundreds of billions.
Today, the Cargill-MacMillan family grips this empire. They own approximately 80-90 % of the company through an ownership structure that spans generations. At least 14 family members are billionaires—more than the Waltons, more than the Kochs.
Here’s why it matters:
They control vast parts of what the world eats: from grain trading and storage to meat processing, cocoa, salt, fertilizer, shipping. A 2022 article claimed they influence “what billions of people eat.
They operate in more than 70 countries, employ over 150,000 people, and move millions of tons of commodities every year.
Because the company is private, they bypass many of the transparency, regulatory, and public-shareholder pressures that affect public corporations. That means enormous power with comparatively little public scrutiny.
And yet—there’s a darker side:
Critics link the company and its supply-chains to deforestation, labor abuses including child labor, and environmental damage in parts of the world such as West Africa and the Amazon.
Their size and secrecy make them a nearly invisible force, but one with real human and ecological consequences.
The takeaway?
When one family controls the supply-chain behind everyday foods—from the grain in your cereal to the meat in your sandwich—then their decisions ripple across farms, forests, trade routes and dinner tables around the world.
So here’s the question to reflect on:
If a handful of people decide what food gets harvested, how it’s processed, where it’s sold—and you never even know their names—who’s really feeding you?
