Newark Mayor Needs Food Stamps?

Somehow I find it hard to imagine that, as Jason Howerton's story suggests, Mayor Cory Booker will actually be able to go on food stamps...

Can he live on the amount of money for which food stamps would be issued, if he didn't have an income? I'd guess he could--comfortably, even in Newark, even in winter--but he may need some advice on how to do it.

For those who live in places where they can either have vegetable gardens, or barter for produce from neighbors' gardens, living on food stamps is a snap. You might have to learn a lot of ways to cook zucchini, but you can be well fed.
