Healthy food is hard to come by in many sections of Bridgeport, CT. Especially on a food stamp budget. We follow a single mother shopping as she tries to make her SNAP benefits stretch.

She recieves foodstamps her kids shouldnt be still taking up space for weekend take home programs ,there getting free breakfast , lunch, snacks she sending with them to snack on damn.. kids in that exact school even as close as in the same class room dont have those resources gota look out for each other. Give one of those blessings to a child who doesnt have free breakfast, lunch , snacks, 2nd maybe /3rd servings of spaghetti for dinner…..thats a sad part of this video being ignored.pay it forward help anothrr child who would love to come home from school to a meal as well or having a program they can be comfortable in knowing theres something for them as well being able to have a guaranteed meal sure her kids would be fine without being on another food resource program made for kids who arent being fed during weekends some not even during the whole school day she should think of them each time she fill out paperwork while dinners cooking at the same time that would be taking from another child .There taking spots kids who arent eating on the weekend could use telling a child they dont have room on a program list to feed them while her kids are using that program for weekend snacks basically between meals is crazy let another child be able to be asked how there enjoying a meal or eat at a desk during a lesson .

I'm 91 years old and don't need food stamps. I started out with nothing , but at least, my parents supported me until I was 18. After that I was on my own, but I planned my life wisely.

Jb Rob says:

Yes blame the dad too but donโ€™t have 4 kids if you canโ€™t afford 4 kids.

Laura C says:

I think if you are poor and on food stamps you qualify for food pantry too

NervyBlogger says:

When news channels show stories saying food stamps aren't enough, they shouldn't feature fat people.

Raymond Chassell says:

She looks very well fed to fat or obese so she's only got herself to blame

I feel like in conjuction with food stamp approval there should be offered budgeting and cooking classes to help families who may not have the wherewithal to use the resources they can purchase in the most efficient way. I know that cooking from scratch can help significantly stretch already limitted food budgets and are healthier than convenience foods. I personally think removing home economics from schools has been as detrimental as removing art, music etc. REAL LIFE support for real life problems.

Sounds like youโ€™ve made some bad life decisions, thereโ€™s consequences for that.

I don't feel sorry for people on food stamps. If you can't afford to feed your children so stop having them. Look how fat she is? Doesn't look like she starving to me.

Robert Garcia says:

Sky Lamford, Um, let me see, …… What's gonna happen when you leave the front door open?
Well duh, bad stuff gonna happen. Birth control, contraceptives, are available. Alright Mercedes, those …… 4 kids she's got don't appear to be from the same father. …..Sorry ….. she's a Daddy baby momma. The interviewer neglected to ask her how much money Mercedes gets from CHILD SUPPORT. She's overweight > obese. You will not make me believe that she does not buy sodas, chips, dips and other non – nutritionalitems with her Snap card. I betcha she buys Pizzas, and other fast foods. What do women need husbands for when they can pop out a baby from an incognito male and get CHILD SUPPORT.

All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands of Food Stamps Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Samuel DeVoe says:

She may eat one of the children just look at her.

Julia Ramos says:

She should like to eat for free. So where is the daddy. She should have him support not the tax payers. She had a good time shameful shameful. You could walk.
