I want to eat heathy too!!

I recently did some research on the the use of food stamps or EBT for local grown food and found there are not many options for those in low income families. More than one in seven households rely on food stamps and studies show that the less money you make the more likely you become overweight. It seems like eating healthy is only for the elite or privileged people in our society. The businesses that do except EBT are fast food restaurants like KFC, Domino's, and of course the food know as "Government Food". Fortunately, the Vegatable Bin in downtown Charleston do allow EBT in there establishment. Also the government has recently placed a ban on sugar filled soft drinks bought wit food stamps to help reduce weight health problems.There are some websites that helps you maximize the worth of your food stamps like .........
