I am the Queen of wastefulness when it comes to food. Believe me, it’s not something I am proud of. It just so happens that my eyes are bigger than my stomach and I overestimate the number of times I can cook in a week. However, in these difficult times, as increasingly more people are unable to feed their families and have to rely on food stamps, I feel my habit is somewhat indecent. According to the New York Times, the number of food stamp recipients has climbed by 10 million in the past two years. This program now feeds 1 in 8 Americans and, worst of all, nearly 1 in 4 children. This is horrible!
