Oh SNAP!, or Failures in Feeding America's Poor

Good commentary and horrific visuals of Before and After purchasing power of Food Stamps, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program with the deceptively cute acronym SNAP.  Not only are their too few calories, too many of what's there are white rice and white potatoes, which manage to be filling, and maybe even fattening, but not nutritious.

As John Cole says, these rations would drive a person to sell them for liquor and cigarettes instead.
