How much did you spend on lunch yesterday - did it cost lest than $2.40? Probably not, even if you didn't eat out. Now imagine that you were given $2.40 not just for lunch but for the whole day's worth of food. What would it feel like to go to the grocery store? What would it feel like to have to find enough food for your family?
