I don't make much money. I live with my parents and they charge me $100 a month for rent. After I pay this, my car insurance, gas, and other random things I need I don't have much money left to buy food. My parents don't let me eat their food. Would I be able to get food stamps?

Maybe but it really depends on your income. Contact the Department of Social Services. You could also contact your local food bank or Christian Charities.
Some states have a work for food program you donate 5-10 hours per week in exchange for a food voucher.
Maybe you could work out something with your parents....like mow the lawn or other services in exchange for food.
Also there's a barter section on Craigslist.org. Barter a service you can provide in exchange for gift certificates from your local supermarket.....Good Luck

You can get food stamps for yourself even if you live with your parents.

Draw up a document detailing your rent/utility and food situation and fill out the app. accordingly.
