Milk rice beans and corn?
My god that is the worst diet one could eat.
Not if one knows how to cook and is trying to avoid starvation. I'd throw potatoes into the list, because of the nutrients. Eggs too for that matter. Not that I'm agreeing with the 'free' part, but if one is trying to survive and uses those basics as the backbone of a diet? Yes.
Is organic sheshe high end expensive peanut butter on the list of subsistence items? You don't need organic anything to survive.
If you can get more food for the buck to give out over "organic" anything.....i am all for feeding the masses, not feeding vanity, snobbery or pride.
You misunderstood my take on this. Why is the food pantry buying peanut butter in the first place? Donations of whatever brand, fine. But when the food pantry is buying food, to alleviate hunger, IMO they should be buying: rice, noodles, bread, potatoes, apples, pears, etc., that have a long storage life and provide both nutrients and calories, the sustenance of life.
