The Food Stamp Challenge is an opportunity to not only experience, first-hand, the budgeting constraints that millions of Californians face on a regular basis, but it's also an opportunity to take stock of our individual eating and food-spending habits. For instance, have you ever considered how much money you spend on food daily? Weekly? Annually? How would you respond if you suddenly found yourself unable to enjoy or afford some of your favorite treats and dishes?
Assemblymember Yamada's reflections of each day's meals and activities give insight into the necessity of making smart decisions, and, oftentimes, difficult choices in the wake of severely limited resources. We thank and salute Assemblymember Yamada for, once again, taking the Food Stamp Challenge!
