Here's a new piece for The Progressive about an award-winning journalist whose income is dwindling due to the weakened editorial field. As a result he decides to go on food stamps to help support himself. Due to writing about his new lifestyle he has received many scathing criticisms by people who are telling him to simply, "quit!" or that "food stamps aren't for people like you." Interesting story. Enjoy!
