Food Stamped: A Documentary

Good morning! Before continuing with my project plan today, I wanted to take a moment to introduce the "links" portion of the blog and the award-winning documentary Food Stamped.

I have been building a library of links here on Milwaukee Manna in an effort to connect with the great work that has been done regarding eating well on food stamps. From shopping and cooking tips to federal policy information, I want to build an interactive database that can be used to develop this Milwaukee case study, but also discover the most useful information for people trying to live healthfully on a tight budget. 

From time to time, I will try to highlight an exceptional resource and link you to it. Food Stamped seems like a great starter--and a must-watch for anyone interested in this subject. Shira & Yoav Potash, a certified nutritional educator and documentary filmmaker respectively, decided to see for themselves just what eating on a food stamp budget was like. Here's the trailer:
