To get through the economic struggle across the nation, more and more people are relying on food stamps to buy groceries. The high unemployment rate and budget cuts are forcing many families into an economic crisis of their own. Instead of worrying if they can afford to get groceries for Monday morning breakfast, they use their food stamps. I found this article that has a great chart showing what percentage of the population in each state relies on food stamps. Georgia has a shockingly high percentage... Check it out!!

I am surprised at some of the states: New Mexico, Oregon, Michigan, Tennessee (which is almost exactly tied with Mississippi). I'll bet you those stamps aren't buying good food, which would help fight diseases like diabetes. That's what's frustrating.
