What A Stupid Challenge

From the LVRJ: Three Square food bank recently challenged the Southern Nevada community to participate in a food budget program to raise awareness about the struggles and challenges of Supplemental Food Assistance Program recipients.
The SNAP Experience, which took place Jan. 27-31, encouraged more than 100 participants to eat a healthy and balanced diet on a budget of $3.71 per day or $18.55 for five days.
“We wanted people to see what it was like to be a SNAP recipient,” said Brian Burton, president and CEO of Three Square. “Most people don’t understand that one in seven Americans rely on SNAP in order to feed their families. This experience really opens people’s eyes to that reality.”
SNAP is a federal nutrition program that assists approximately 47 million people in the United States with financial resources to purchase food at grocery stores.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/view/sunrise/participants-eat-371-day-get-taste-living-assistance
What does SNAP stand for? Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
The food stamp program is supplement a person's food budget, not be the only source for a person's food.
Plus, people can get free food from food banks, family, neighbors and friends.  They also can get food from their local Church and other sources.
Hell, they may be able to get a job or save some of their welfare and other government sources of income to help pay for their food.
So, this is a fake story and a fake challenge by 3 Square.  Even those on Food Stamps can spend more than $3.71 a day and if they do only receive on $3.71 a day, then they are extremely stupid or lazy.
