Food Stamp Diet
I’ve often wondered how much food you could obtain if you lived solely on food stamps. Apparently there are a few legislators who decided to find out for themselves. I read their blogs and it’s telling to say the least. Frequent themes are skipping meals, drinking lots of water, and having to eliminate things from your shopping basket at the grocery store. Bottom line is that it’s no way to live since you can’t possibly have proper nutrition with such a limited selection. I think once the challenge is over that the lobbyists take advantage of the moment and wine and dine the legislators back to proper health.
