I myself have never been on food stamps but I know many people who have been, and it is my job to educare the public about the benefits of healthy eating. To deny rhe economic link to obesity is to be ignorant, indeed. I'd love for you to roll up your sleeves and take the challenge yourself, then come back and report what you were able to eat for a month. The $3 a day is an average... that means $90 a month, in case you are mathematically challenged. Come back and let us know how many fresh fruits and vegetables you consumed. <BR/><BR/>As someone with a good stable income who has been cooking healthy vegan meals for 30+ years, who routinely sees people struggling to feed their families on Ramen and Spaghettios, I am anxiously awaiting the results of your challenge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20892346.post-87070650982090056862008-07-01T15:06:00.000-07:002008-07-01T15:06:00.000-07:00When I was young and stupider, I was on food stamp...When I was young and stupider, I was on food stamps for about 3 months. Since I wasn't rasied on junk food, I bought fresh food and the only pre-prepared stuff was spice packets for Tacos and such. I also was really into home cooked chinese food at that time and such meals from scratch are very cheap. Food stamp allotments are plenty to live off of, if you are wise with the money.SGT Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184808889760136366noreply@blogger.com
