[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes no matter how poor you are, you just want a moment to feel human, to feel like you are the same as everyone else. Sometimes it's a tub of hummus that gives you that and when someone or something takes it away, that hurts. You don't want tips on living without, you don't want people to tell you to go make some more hummus, and you don't want a link to a community yoga class and you don't want weird ass job suggestions. You just want to be human again.

And to this, I’m gouging to say - there is nothing that is making OP feel less human other than her own perceptions.

I think a lot of the PPs have actually “been there”. You find the luxuries where you find them, and that’s a choice. If you’re going to call it this way, let’s call it like OP had the money to afford packaged hummus, and her daughter has multiple MLPs to stick in that hummus. That’s more than many people. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t feel like it sucks, but I think the people are trying to help. There are truly ways to save money / live on the cheap that allow you to feel rich, if you choose to.

I’ve used a food bank. It didn’t feel awesome. But, I also made an effort to make good meals from the hodgepodge of stuff I got. I could have easily just eaten the stuff straight of the can and felt bad about my life. Instead, I explored the cuisines Of other ethnicities and broadened my horizons. In doing so, I relied less on the food bank, because I was able to buy more and different foods quite inexpensively. It helped by confidence, and I eventually taught cooking on a budget as a community outreach member.
