Back to the topic of the thread. I see this as little more than grandstanding. As pointed out earlier, food stamps are not intended to be the sole source of nutrition for recipients. Rather, they augment the funds already received through work or other social programs. There is no valid conclusion to be reached by this act. If the mayor shows the difficulty in living on only food stamps, my response would be "So what else did you expect?". That is not their intent.
