Since I was unaware of SNAP, I experienced hunger throughout the university

I was comfortable with the idea of being able to ration to get by because I grew up in the United States below the poverty line.

We had accessibility to safety net services and my mother labored almost all the time. Individuals employed frequently don’t make enough money to support their families or even a decent wage. So, even as a small child, I understood the value and necessity of having assistance.

When I grew up, the packaged meals that were served to us, such as greasy cheese and milk powder, were unhealthy. A kid like me was raised on a cheap, high-sodium, low-nutrition diet since these items were accessible.

Many parents from families with low incomes give their children this, not because they don’t care, but rather because they’re struggling to make money up.
