Food Stamped is an informative and
humorous documentary film following a
couple as they attempt to eat a healthy,
well-balanced diet on a food stamp budget.
Food Stamped investigates why America is
overfed, yet malnourished. Food Stamped
follows nutritionist Shira Potash and her
documentary filmmaker husband Yoav as they
attempt to eat a healthy, well balanced diet
on a food stamp budget. Through their adventures,
they consult with Members of Congress, food justice
advocates, nutrition experts, and people living on food stamps to take a deep look at the obesity epidemic and the American economy;
it's a thought-provoking examination of the barriers low-income Americans face in their attempts to eat healthy. (USA, 2011, 62 min., color
