When I'm asked to donate to a food drive, I go to Aldi's and buy 2 cardboard flats of something like canned spaghettios ($1 each) or a big flat of macaroni and cheese.

My kids love those foods, and though I don't serve them often (not particularly healthy) I know that kids like them and they are filling and EASY to make, which is why I think that people with kids will like them, too.

I don't understand this. Why donate something with no real nutritional value and something that will cause health problems later on? You may serve those once in a while but chances are the kids you are donating to eat that sort of stuff all the time.Anonymous wrote:

Don't let the haters make you feel bad.  Good for you for taking the time to donate food and in quantity, also.  Fewer kids are going to be hungry due to your flat of spaghettios than if you had purchased few boxes of organic noodles for the same amount of money.  People need to get a clue.

The options are not just "spaghettios" or "organic spaghetti". there are plenty of inexpensive items that can be donated that are also filling but also nutritious and would not the same sort of crap that the kids probably already eat at home and school.

When I donate items I donate rice, beans, veggies, pasta, pasta sauce, etc. Those will go even further then a can of spaghettios and are a lot healthier.

Just because someone doesn't earn a lot of money does not mean they have to or want to eat like crap.[/quote]
