Living on food stamps is a reality for one in four families in the United States.

Making healthy food choices is just one issue.

The other is, can you buy enough food for $30.00 to last a whole week?

One reporter took the challenge for one week and discovered how difficult it really is to feed yourself with $30.00 a week.

One in four families – according to the Food Research and Action Center – worry about having enough money to feed themselves and their families. And for those who may get the help of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or food stamps, it still may not be enough to buy the minimum amount of food the United States Department of Agriculture says people need to survive.
