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.
