25. Those on food stamps might not have access to a car, or bus route,
and might have to shop at local stores on the corner vs the bigger grocery chains that those with cars and buses routes enjoy. Two summers ago, Milwaukee, had flooding, and was handing out food. The lines extended in such great numbers that it was alarming how so many people needed food that they were standing in the sweltering heat. For years I have always stopped at exit ramps were people hold signs asking to work for food. I make an effort if I can to hand out some money. In some city's in this country it has become a crime to feed the poor. Maybe that is why you have no visibility to this epidemic.
