Thrifty food plan “not so thrifty” once labor costs considered (via Foodlinks Newsletter) http://trunc.it/cdaz1
Looking forward to reading this study showing that the federal food stamp allotments, once considered in light of basic labor economics, are not at all adequate. New USDA numbers show that most food stamp recipients today are working, on some form of disability or have no income whatsoever; less than 10 percent are on welfare. Also troubling: 42 percent were in households at or below half the federal poverty line, a line drawn at $11,025/year for a family of four.
