[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Occasional recipient PP here. I must say for bank recipients aren’t as hungry as some people think they are. Bad food is cheap and abundant in the US, which is good because no one is hungry but also bad because having a lot of cheap low quality food is not really great for nutrition or development or happiness. 
So yeah most poor people just can’t afford nice things. [b]They do have cheap earbuds, cheap canned food, and cheap cream cheese. [/b]Eggs, butter, and milk are ok generic I guess. 
It’s just the truth, you don’t have to donate if you don’t like that your cheap stuff isn’t appreciated. 
Sorry if this sounds ungrateful, it was not my intention. I am actually very grateful for SNAP where you can buy whatever you need and not whatever is given to you [/quote]

So do I, and my kids are in private school. Your money would go further if you weren’t so wedded to the idea of brand names.[/quote]

Good for you. Even if I only ate canned beans I wouldn’t be able to afford it. I am just saying that cheap stuff they already have [/quote]

Well, thanks for letting us all know that we shouldn't be donating to foodbanks, because the recipients don't need it.   There were times in my life where I actually WAS hungry, and I would have been thrilled to get generic food--but I didn't know where and how to find a food bank (pre-internet days) or if I even would have been eligible as a client (I was a student, and didn't have children or anything.)
