The topic this week is stratification and poverty. Please read through this whole assignment before you start. There are two parts: a food plan and then a reflection. For this adventure, you must work out a food budget for a family of 4 for a week (7 days) who are living at the poverty line. According to the USDA, families who live in poverty on average spend $4200 per year on food. So, for a family of 4, this works out to around $80 per week on food (about $11 per day). You can make your simulated "family" any arrangement you wish (2 adults/2 kids; 1 adult/3 kids, etc). But if you are going to say that your family has an infant, you must then account for diapers and formula and the costs associated with these things. However you want to work the budget is is fine. You can work out the menu for each day or work out a weekly amount and distribute it that way. But you must use real food prices. Some things that you CANNOT use for this assignment are: CostCo - this requires a membership fee and you cannot use it. CalFresh/Food Stamps/EBT because the
