All right, so I am highly considering doing the SNAP challenge. That is eating for one week on food stamps. For the most part as the average dictate, you aim for eating on 29 dollars for one week for the whole week. Which averages out to about 1.38 per meal for food. Now with that all being said, I am curious, would you folks like to see me cooking things up for cheap, posting pictures of my food and overall just trying this thing out? Also, I want folks to offer up any ideas of extra rules or such I should put in place to make things slightly more interesting. What I mean by this, is the whole idea of SNAP is as an assistance program and a supplement to your normal grocery buying ability. So with that being said, since it is supposed to be a supplement can I use the deer meat I was given the other day by a friend, or use my connections in the restaurant industry to snag a couple of extra things? If ya'll are cool with that then I shall use the stuff, if not everything comes from scratch. Beyond that I would like to ask if I am allowed to use the spices in my pantry or do I have to buy all that from scratch as well?

Also, as some will point out, this isn't fair for me to do this challenge as I am not on food stamps and I am just poking fun at or belittling the struggle people go through on a daily basis to just eat enough. That is not the point I am aiming to make. The point is I know what it is like to be hungry, I had several rough years where I struggled to make ends meat and I did what I could to keep my stomach full. Asking for the scraps from where I worked, to helping out a friend on their farm for some produce. However I never went on food stamps as I didn't think I needed them. The goal here is to raise awareness and figure out is it possible to live on that amount a week in America for food.

So like I said, you folks interested in seeing a snakey try something like this, or am I hissing up the wrong tree?
