The Food Stamp Challenge - I'm Still Hungry

Dr. Rebecca Bolton Bridgett, Director of the Charles County Department of Social Services

I spent $14.85 for five days ($3/day x 5 days). I purchased peanut butter, jelly, bread, yogurt, two bananas and soup. I did well the first day. The second day, however, my son was ill and we went to the doctor. Due to the unpredictable schedule, I purchased a sandwich for lunch. I found the difficulties to include:

1.) poor selection,
2.) unable to complete nutritionally balanced meals,
3.) spontaneous decision-making was impossible.

Thank you for the opportunity to experience the Food Stamp Challenge. It was a real eye-opener!
