families eat a LOT of the cheapest most filling food they can, which is normally pasta, just to stretch what funds/allowance they get. Pastas are NOT known to be a low cal, healthy food but you do what you need to do to get by.

If you truly are concerned about poor kids weight than poor people/families don't need LESS food stamps, they need MORE so they can buy more fruits and veggies and healthier low fat meats.
