Good point, one of my great aunts couldn't keep weight on when she was in her late 90s so the doctor told her to drink two or three milkshakes a day, she didn't get SNAP but I guess if she had she could have chewed on celery sticks or carrots rather than have her milkshakes, because we are sooo good at deciding what's best for other people
I think Ensure would be a healthier option.

Thank you mom for teaching me how to budget money at a young age and also how to shop and cook. The crockpot is an amazing tool to stretching ones dollars. I just made chicken stew two days ago. The chicken I got from the food pantry and besides a few items that I had to purchase from the store (under $5), this dinner meal will last me 4 days.
Recipes make so much these days since the portion sizes are larger than they used to be,so I freeze half the amount to eat later.
I'm single and a lot of food goes to waste unless I am proactive. I freeze half a loaf of bread because it would get moldy before I could ever finish it.
There used to be Home Ec classes in high school that taught the basics. They should get rid of the diversity training and S&M classes and bring back Home Ec and wood shop to teach something useful!

$10 per hour over 40 hours of work is $400 a week. Then take it that one gets paid every 2 weeks. $800 a check. Then take the taxes into account. Then take into account alot of working people on food stamps are single mothers with kids. And then add in the rent. In order to make enough money to take care of a family of 4 or 5 on a Wal-Mart wage, one would have to work 80-90 per week.
You may recall, the Obama Admin was hung out to dry for eliminating most junk food from all subsidized school lunch programs. Nothing at the Federal level prevented kids from bringing junk from home.
Michele Obama's project was to get kids moving to curb childhood obesity. That too was mocked by the Obama haters.
I understand the corn syrup producers have put that stuff in everything. We had a neighbor who sold that stuff by the tank car. He had a booming business. A fast food burger doodle opened not far from our house. We drove past it a couple years and finally decided to check it out. They even put sweetener in the bun. We threw it away.
It was sad to see what the parents and cafeteria ladies did to Michelle Obama. I thought it was the job of parents to teach the kids about nutrition. Looks like most just feed them what they like. FF and nuggets.
Years ago when the kids were in band I had to take food and work the food line when other bands were at our school for competition. Most moms brought donuts and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. they thought i was odd for bring carrots, celery, cucumbers.apples and pears. To their surprise that went first.
The kids who have gardens at school eat their veggies.
OUr school won't allow treats at the parties but they feed them french toast for lunch.
