Peter Orszag wrote a recent article detailing one of the growing problems with the food stamp program. While the average family of four receives about $500 in food aid each month, a vast majority of these families spends more than half of that amount within the first half of the month, leaving very little food or money for the end of the month.
Orszag goes on to state that caloric intake drops over the course of the month. The caloric intake for many food stamp families is 10 to 15 percent
