Hipsters on Food Stamps
http://www.salon.com/life/pinche…
Magida, a 30-year-old art school graduate, had been installing museum exhibits for a living until the recession caused arts funding -- and her usual gigs -- to dry up. She applied for food stamps last summer, and since then she's used her $150 in monthly benefits for things like fresh produce, raw honey and fresh-squeezed juices from markets near her house in the neighborhood of Hampden, and soy meat alternatives and gourmet ice cream from a Whole Foods a few miles away."I'm eating better than I ever have before," she told me. "Even with food stamps, it's not like I'm living large, but it helps."
