Event
2/13 445p FOOD STAMPED
Food Stamped
Shira Potash and Yoav Potash, 2010, 60 min, US
2/13 445p, 2/15 7p
Some members of Congress recently limited themselves to $1 meals, the average food stamp benefit. They mostly ate PB sandwiches and Top Ramen. But here in SF, nutritional educator Shira Potash created a real challenge: a healthy food stamp diet. Calculator in hand, she and husband Yoav prioritize organic veggies, forgo coffee and cheese, and discover that free samples help stave off the hunger. It doesn't take long for the painstaking rationing to erode their goodwill as they argue about whether a whole or half banana constitutes a serving of fruit. A thoughtful exploration of the politics and culture of cheap food in the first world.
CO-PRESENTED BY SF FOOD BANK (accepting donations at the show)
