SOUTH CAROLINA —

A South Carolina lawmaker wants Gov. Nikki Haley to try eating healthy on $35 a week.

Democrat Bakari Sellers wants her to live according to the plan Haley proposed.

The plan would restrict people from paying for junk food with food stamps in an effort to curb the state's obesity rate.

Food stamp recipients get an average of $35 a week. Sellers said that's not enough money to buy healthy food.

Haley's office turned down the challenge.
