Close this issue once we crush them!

@lippytak What is your metric for "crushing?" :)

Well. They did provide the data I'm currently using for this, and they're kind enough to keep it up-to-date, so let's not crush them or we'll have to go back to that scraper. :)

I would say EBT Near Me is better because it doesn't make the user enter a location. But if you've tried to access the USDA's map on an iPhone, you'll see we've already crushed it. #flashfail

Know anyone we could talk with there about using this instead once it's more robust?
