Perhaps one wouldn't starve on $101 a month, but I question how healthy they could eat.

And there's the rub. Fruits and veggies are expensive. Just a couple of ears of corn costs $1, at least here in OH. If you have to feed a family, especially w/kids, it's got to be tough. I'm sure that's why so many low income people are overweight. They eat too many carbohydrates to feel full and comforted but their diet lacks good nutrition.
