ESSAY ON: Feeding a Family on the Poverty Standard

Number of Pages 11

This research paper: An 11 page paper presenting and discussing an experiment in which a family of five limited its total food budget to that specified by the 2004 U.S. poverty-level food budget. Most of the paper discusses the family’s experience during the week and its normal approach to its food budget. The family lives in a rural area and so has garden-produced vegetables and fresh eggs from its chickens, advantages not available to inner-city families striving to achieve adequate diets at current poverty standards. A table contains the family’s menu and total food costs for the week. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
