These foods are so cheap because they are manufactured and processed so that the company can produce as much as possible and as cheap as possible. This means that the foods given to the students are not up to its nutritional best and this is the main reason students are eating so poorly.

What i took from this was that people with a lower income and more children in th household may not have the same amount of money to spend on groceries and healthier foods than families with a higher income. It is much cheaper for bigger families with a tight budget to purchase filling foods such as noodles and processed food than to spend the extra money on fruits and vegetables.

The money would go much further if the person would purchase processed foods such as hot dogs, lunch meat and Ramen noodles.
Inside of students bag, There werebag of Hot Cheetos and Doritos. Also kids do not have that much money to buy expensive healthy food and want to eat tasty food with cheep prices.

Once people reap the benefits of food banks, they will stay on because they can, even after they get out of poverty. Food banks rarely have the resources to visit people at their homes, but if they did, they would find that many people living the opposite of a life in poverty. When people do this, they take food away from people who really need it.

Disadvantages to this program can include that what type of food purchased cannot be controlled. Also, SNAP does not cover all of the costs for food.
