Are you on a budget? How much do you spend a day on food? The OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) expects you to live on $7.50 a day for food while at school, and expects the total all of your living expenses to be below the poverty line.

Five students at four institutions across Ontario are undertaking an experiment: is it possible to live a healthy lifestyle with only $7.50 a day for food? They will be blogging every day on this site, and uploading video blogs every few days to document their experiences and struggles. Click on each image to read their profiles and follow their story.
