I think
it's possible to eat healthfully on food stamps. That said, I think many
don't. I believe that one contributing factor is access. Low-income
areas are often served only by mini-marts with limited and generally unhealthy
selections of food. I was pleased to see that Aldi has two locations in
the city itself.
Another
factor: cooking good food takes time. Processed food is convenient and
well-marketed. This, indeed, is a health factor in the US at all levels
of society.
