About what is it like to survive on food stamps...most of us are short on money and we mostly look at stamps to help us but we don't look at the food satmps if it is healthy for us.when people have no money they have no choice but to live on food stamps,but when we look at the rich people no offense most of them waste money on things they need it is just things that they want.but it is not anyones fault that people don't have food it is there own dicision.
