Eating on a dollar a day?

One California couple spent a month spending only a dollar a day each on their diet. You can read about their efforts here. They found out how hard it is to eat healthy on so little each day. Most days they could not afford fresh fruits. They ended up supplementing the diet by drinking Tang!

The sad reality is that over 1 billion people world wide have no choice and must eat with a dollar or less each day. According to this article, one 1 in 10 Americans are on food stamps. So even in our great county of abundance we have people who struggle.
