 rious message: it’s really difficult to eat healthfully on food stamp (SNA
 P) benefits even if you are educated\, savvy\, live near a decent grocery 
 store or farmers’ market\, have plenty of time and energy\, and are a grea
 t cook. Everyone should see this film\, especially those who complain abou
 t how low-income people use their benefits.”<br />\n<em>~ Marion Nestle\,

 rsity\, and author of “Food Politics.”</em></p>\n<p>“I love this film! It 
 is eye-opening and sobering\, yet delivers its message with a warm heart a
 nd terrific spirit. One comes away inspired by our potential for inventive
 ness\, and motivated to activism\, rather than feeling defeated.”<br />\n<
