[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our food drive at my church has specific instructions not to give canned vegetables and more things like mac n cheese, fruit in plastic (like peaches for kids and mandarin oranges), dry goods for the same reason as PP. People don't want to eat a can of peas and carrots and prefer things like cereal, frozen meals, etc[/quote]

:shock:  wow. Talk about entitled. [/quote]

Do you eat canned peas?[/quote]

Yes, I do. Lots of people eat them. Especially people who can't afford frozen meals. I think it's a shitty attitude to have, that you won't eat canned vegetables when you can't afford your own groceries and are relying on public donations. [/quote]

Being poor doesn't mean you can't care about nutrition. If they prefer frozen peas or fresh green beans, that's fine with me. do you have any idea how much pride they must swallow to go in there and accept that food? In my food pantry, they don't get to "shop." They tell us how many people they have, preferences and restrictions, and we pack it. I am totally fine with them retaining some sense of control over what they feed their family by requesting no cans. [/quote]
