I never took the headline as $1,190,000 for one slice…did others? I assumed it was for a large quantity of ham…that being said, Drudge points out that you can buy ham for 79 cents per pound at Food Lion which is half of what the gov paid.

Yes, but like any government program, the documentation is huge.
760,000 lbs of ham, 1,620,000 lbs of documentation.
