Instead of the perfectly-fine “expired” food going to the dumpster, feed people. Help the community.

    The people I have helped with at food banks were not at risk of literal starving they were at risk of eating the same 3 things all the time. Most of us take it for granted having a mind that works like this. Go buy ingredients and follow a recipe, try new ones, some diversity in diet. Instead of just buying endless jars of peanutbutter and crackers.

    My local one is working on more mealkit type solutions. Here is everything you need and a paper recipe.

    Kinda makes me sad. More food stamp money is probably not going to fix that problem, not sure what can be done. Maybe social workers setting up basic cooking classes?
