Food Stamp Challenge

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

A food stamp challenge is a trend in the United States popularized by religious groups, community activists and food pantries in which a family of means chooses to purchase food using only the monetary equivalent of what a family that size would receive in federal food stamps.

In 2007, this amounted to US$3 per person per day. It has been suggested that it misrepresents the food stamp program, which is applied on a sliding scale, with the value of stamps decreasing at higher income levels.
