Kathleen O'Brien/The Star-Ledger The Star-Ledger's article on CORY BOOKERS FOOD STAMP BUDGET DIET  full article link here!



'Booker shopped at the Pathmark in Irvington because it was within walking distance of his home. (Many on food stamps have no way to get to stores beyond their neighborhood.)

Accompanying him was Elizabeth Reynoso, the city’s food policy director. She says they shopped carefully, comparing the unit prices before making choices. The mayor planned to build his meals around potatoes, but when he saw sweet potatoes were on sale — half off! — he switched to them.'
