I'm still new to the world of Twitter, so I'm often looking up what some of the acronyms are that people use. RT is a retweet, MT is a modified tweet, etc. Add to that, each party affiliation has their loving little acronyms for each other that save space on a tweet. I ran across one recently that I just couldn't figure out and had to google to find the meaning--it was #SNAP.
SNAP is the acronym for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program which is known to many as Food Stamps. SNAP has gotten a lot of press lately because a large cut to it was attached to the Farm Bill that was submitted to the House. I started to see more tweets about the SNAP challenge, but what is the SNAP challenge?
Again, I relied on my friend google to give me the answer. The SNAP challenge rules are simple:
*Exist nutritionally on what a person receives on the SNAP program--$4.50 per day
*Do not eat any food purchased before the start of the challenge
*Eat as healthy as possible
I decided to do it. Spur of the moment...seat of my pants...I can do this!
So, folks (if anyone ever reads this), this is my life on the SNAP program...
