Newark Mayor Cory Booker is living on the equivalent of one week's worth of food stamps. The moderate-liberal Democrat and vegetarian discusses the challenge. From NJ.com: "'As Newark's Star-Ledger pointed out this morning , I am regretting not thinking through some of my food choices for the week,' Booker wrote in his daily LinkedIn blog, where day two of his week long challenge to eat $29.78 worth of groceries, featured a menu of, 'salad for breakfast, a can of peas and corn mixed together for lunch, and cauliflower, broccoli and a (sweet) potato for dinner.'"
More: "Booker also described day two of what could develop into a severe caffeine withdrawal. 'Not being able to stop and drop a few dollars for a Venti coffee or Diet Mountain Dew is really raising my consciousness about the food choices I often take for granted,' he wrote."
