Where does Massachussets Food Stamp money get spent? Find out for yourself

Ever wonder how much money that bodega is making off food stamps? You know, the one where the healthiest thing is a hot dog covered in chili? Or ever debate with a friend whether Whole Foods is reaping the rewards of the economic downturn with all the overeducated hipsters needing to get their organic salmon fix?

Well, here's the spending break down for the past four years, mapped on Google so you can see exactly which cities are getting Food Stamp funds, which stores they're being spent at, and even how the Great Recession has changed the demographics of poverty in Boston and Massachusetts. Hint: The years have not been kind to Chicopee.
