The Food Stamp Challenge
Mass Rep Jim McGovern did this, as well as Reps Tim Ryan and Jan Schakowsky did it it too and all blogged about it...a fascinating read, and one that should illuminate the basic food demands on a budget of $21 per week. No wonder people gravitate to fast food...it's cheap with a little protein and a lot of fat. Bottom line, best I can see it, is that you cannot eat healthy on this little...with food stamps stagnant, minimum wages stagnant and fuel prices soaring, it's all a big circular reference, spiraling downward toward obesity, diabetes and other social ills...Labels: blog, economy, food stamps, poverty, wages
