Food stamps are not allowed to be used in restaurants, other than in a few states, but some fast food chains want that rule changed. Yum! Brands, which owns Taco Bell, KFC, Long John Silver's and Pizza Hut, is lobbying the government to allow food stamps to be used at its fast-food outlets, at a time when food stamp benefits have more than doubled between 2005 and 2010.
GOP Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich reacts to the news that the number of those who use food stamps has jumped to 45,800,000 or nearly 15% of the nation's population.
