food prices, welfare and nutrition

So I've still been working on my research of the rise in food prices, the effects on those on food stamps and the feasibility of nutritious meals. I found these really interesting articles.

'Food costs likely to boost obsesity in poor.'

This article reiterates what I had said about Aldi's and also includes some interesting statistics.

'Soaring use of food stamps, anothers sign of lean times.'

'When ends don't meet.'
http://www.citypaper.net/articles/2008/05/08/when-ends-dont-meet

I found all of these articleso on the Greater Philadelphia Coalition against Hunger website, here:

Still looking into some more resources. Keep you updated.
