The full text, with the final sentence, which was redacted by Civil Eats, reads: “A reporter with a story commissioned by Civil Eats applied for and accepted a Rapid Response grant for a story on wild salmon. That reporting was done completely independently – just like all of the other journalism that the Walton Family Foundation supports. Notably, that grant has not posed any roadblocks to Civil Eats as it has turned its scrutiny toward the foundation’s work.”
