Celebrities, Food Stamps & The Recession

by mbilal

With the current and ongoing loss of jobs and resources (i.e., game-fully-employed family members, education, networks, etc.), the once much-maligned food stamp has become the de facto safety net for struggling families all over the country.

 

Politically, food stamps have always been a contentious issue: on the one side, they are lambasted as another bloated government handout-- just like giving out cash. On the other, they are integral to the economic stability of food and food security in America.

 

The New York Times (November 28, 2009) recently reported that "one in eight Americans and one in four children" are now fed using food stamps.

Even quasi-celebrities, like the infamous Octuplets mother Nadya Suleman seem to act alongside public opinion, going off-and-on those plastic debit cards we call food stamps when the moment suits the politics.

For those in real need, and there are many, food stamps are and have always been a welcomed alternative to empty promises, lost wages, and unfed kids.If you need food stamps, click here:

Really the food stamps have become a key factor for the struggling families all over the country. Food stamps play a vital role in the economic stability of food and food security in America. The report given by New York times gives a clear picture of the importance of such food stamps. One in eight Americans and one in four children are fed using food stamps in America is a true picture according to them.
