Surviving On Food Stamps - The $21 A Week Experiment
[Edit]
[Edit]
Two American lawmakers are putting their money ($21) where there mouth is. They’re trying to survive for one week on the US standard food stamp rations. That means they’re trying to get by on $1 per meal. Both congressmen are blogging about their experience and it doesn’t look like it’s going very well.
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) and Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) are among a handful of congresscritters participating in an experiment in which they must subsist on standard US food stamp rations for one week. The shocking conclusion, so far? $21 worth of stamps a week doesn't add up to much, and it's "almost impossible" to maintain a healthy diet for $1 a meal (huh, wonder why America's poor suffer obesity in such great numbers?).
