Removing Excessive Dollars to Uproot and Cut Expensive Government Waste Act or the REDUCE Government Waste Act

The bill also prohibits federal funds from being used for the development of (1) a beerbot or other robot bartender; or (2) insect-based foods for human consumption, including cricket farming and taste-testing of insect-based foods.
To amend the Agricultural Act of 2014 to repeal the forfeiture rule for 
   peanuts under the nonrecourse marketing assistance loan program, 
prohibit the use of Federal funds for certain activities, and for other 
                               purposes.
