Happy Harvest! Sounds so fun doesn't it?
A box full of yummy and good food. It's like a fantasy.
Then reality sets in. What's likely to be in the box:
Rice
Beans
Flour
Powdered milk
Powdered eggs
Canned meat (like Spam)
Creamed corn
Oats
Sugar
Salt
maybe:
Canned fruit
Canned vegetables
Dried fruit
Try making nutritious and delicious meals out of that stuff.
What about people who don't know how to cook?
What about people with two or three jobs taking care of kids and have no time to cook?
What about frail and old seniors?
What about the disabled?
What about the homeless?
What about those with no refrigerator or cooking facilities?
And you know, whoever gets the contracts are going to squeeze every cent they can out of it.
But it sounds so, well, so "Happy!"
