The food stamp challenge is one of the best ways to learn about the nutrition hurdles that low-income Americans face every day. The Challenge entails eating on a budget of $4.34 per day day which is the average food stamp allotment in Howard County.
Since restaurants do not accept food stamps, dollar value-meals and the like are off limits. Anything taxable can not be purchased with food stamps, which means hot food in a grocery may not be purchased.
My food stamp challenge week will be Oct. 14-20. Each day I will post what I ate and my thoughts about the day. Join me. Let's experience this together. If you want to accept the challenge put your first name in the comment line below. Drop me a line in the comment box or email me at kuodirector@gmail.com.
