SNAP benefits are intended only to supplement an individual's or family's food budget. Still, if you had to live on $30, the average SNAP benefits for one person for one week in 2015, could you do it and still eat healthfully? Using the website or news circular from your local supermarket, tally the cost of the following: one gallon of milk; one box of a nutrient-dense, fiber-rich breakfast cereal; one loaf of whole-grain bread; one jar of peanut butter (no added sugars); seven small apples (about 2 pounds); one bunch of bananas (about 2.5 pounds); seven sweet potatoes (about 2.5 pounds); two packages of frozen vegetables; two cans of black, white, pinto, or kidney beans (about 7 total servings); one small bag of brown rice; half a dozen eggs. What was your total cost? What important foods, ingredients, and/or nutrients were missing from this diet? How do you think you'd feel physically and emotionally if you had to follow this diet for one week?
