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]

When you go to a food bank usually you get a choice what you want to take.  I assume the people who like Spaghettios choose the Spaghettios, and those who prefer the dried pasta and pasta sauce, choose the dried pasta and pasta sauce.

Older children who are taking care of younger children in the home find it easier to just open a can and heat (i.e. in those microwaves that people trot out to "Prove" that the poor aren't really that destitute) than to boil the water to cook the dried pasta and beans.

I serve old fashioned oatmeal in my home, but donate instant oatmeal to a food bank for the same reason.[/quote]
