People like to go to extremes. Would be fun to try, but for a month? $1? I think they would have been better off eating one meal/day than 3.

Looks like he didn't shave for a month either...........I hope she did.

Thanks John for the post.

That was interesting, John. Thanks!

So what they couldn't afford on this experiment were fresh things. I wonder if they will consider farmers markets and produce stands on their next experiment.

Their experiment is an insult to millions of Americans. I, by no means, have trouble feeding myself, but there are millions of Americans who can't afford to feed their families sufficiently because they are broke.

It is a shame that these people would do this experiment so that they could write a book and have their 15 minutes of fame. There are plenty of people who are forced to live like this and they don't get book deals or a spot on TV.

It doesn't matter what a person does, it will "insult" someone. How many people will this help?

Who knows, you may have insulted thousands of people cause you said "I, by no means, have trouble feeding myself".

Don't get too worked up about it miamiman.
