Ha, I live on that kind of budget. You do not need to eat 3 meals a day. I only eat when I am hungry. Is it a wonder how many FAT and overweight people there are? Why is it offensive to call someone FAT but okay to call someone SKINNY? Is it because FAT people are more sensitive than SKINNY people? People call me SKINNY ALL THE TIME! WELL I'M SKINNY BECAUSE I LIVE ON THIS KIND OF A BUDGET!! This article shows how spoiled people have become. I apologize for the out burst.
I have lived in 3rd world contries. No American is really poor by comparison. Did you eat today? Have you eaten rats or insects to stay alive? There are millions of people who do. I know, I have lived with them, seen them and talked with them.
There are poor and rich in every country. Is it a contest?
Okay, I'm a little confused on the details of this experiment...
So if the Federal Poverty Level for a single person is $10,830 wouldn't that be, $29.67 a day?
Where did that $6 a day amount come from? More details would be a little nicer...
