HC: Were there also some benefits?

Callebs: I think I lost weight. I wouldn't say noticeable. It's not like I came out of this 30 days later and people were like "Wow, what happened to you?" but all my clothes are looser. I don't have a scale, but I can tell you my pants are much looser.

Thanks Deb, I've really got to start eating more healthy myself and since more and more people are out of work that means more will be getting food stamps so this clip may help some of them out. but its still their choice on what they will purchase, hopefully they will purchase wisely.

I've got a feeling I'm going to have to go to food bank fairly soon.

@tanyamm - Listen to debbyski, she is absolutely right. My advice would be to apply or find out what you need to do to apply before you really need them that way you will be prepared. Best of luck to you.
