Usually I’m blogging about sports, but I want to take a timeout from that right now to talk about something that affects more people than we realize. Hunger. Food. What can you eat for a $1.08 a day? 10 years ago there were lots of things you could eat for under a dollar, but with the condition our economy is in now, It’s just not realistic. I went to a few fast food places and looked at their menus. I decided to go with fast food because going into a grocery store would just be ridiculous. Del Taco had tacos that were 69 cents. So if it’s tacos you want, Del Taco is your place because Taco Bell is too exspensive for your $1.08 a day budget. The french fries at Wendy’s are also affordable. This pattern continued as I went to different fast food places. A few affordable items here and there. What’s interesting is, the things that are affordable weren’t the healthiest things. Eating healthy on a budget is out of the question. I found a great website with some interesting statistics on women and poverty as well as poverty and hunger statistics.
