46,496,145: Food Stamp Recipients Can Fill Yankee Stadium 925 Times
September 12, 2014 - 5:08 PM
(CNSNews.com) -- In June 2014, there were 46,496,145 recipients of the food
stamp program, which is enough to fill the Yankee Stadium 925 times,
according to data from the Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The Yankee Stadium is equipped to hold 50,291 persons, meaning that the 46,
496,145 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients in June
2014 could fill the stadium 925 times. The number of recipients was up 270,
999 since the previous month in May 2014 when there were 46,225,146
individuals participating in the program.
Similarly, the number of households participating in the SNAP program has
increased as well from the 22,590,393 participating in May 2014 to the 22,
713,934 participating in June 2014, an increase of 123,541 households.
Participation in the SNAP program peaked for individuals in December of 2012
, when there were 47,792,056 persons participating. Since this peak,
participation for individuals has declined by 1,295,911 individuals.
Historically, since the beginning of the data that appears on the USDA
website, participation has increased 7.6 percent. In October 2010, there
were 43,201,052 recipients of SNAP benefits. Since then, the number of
beneficiaries has increased by 3,295,093 persons, or 7.6 percent. | a*****g

刚才我把这个故事说给LD，人家就根本没听清题目，但是回头问——占总人口多少。
美国人这次把 Yankee Stadium作为基准，
Unit变化，导致分数小数百分数这些概念全部完蛋

显然那个文章假定很多人知道Yankee Stadium到底有多大。以Yankee Stadium为基
准，可以很明确的表明领食品券的到底有多少人。
举个例子，月球到地球的距离是38万公里，对普通人来说根本没有概念这到底有多远，
但是如果你说这个距离基本是横穿美国100次，对于一个曾经横穿过美国的人，就形象
清楚得多了。
