As part of my new diet, I had to cut out a lot of foods I would normally eat. So I packed up the food from my fridge and freezer that I can’t eat and gave them to a single mother I know who is scraping by. Among the items given were two 2lb bags of baby carrots, a block of Velvetta cheese, a tube of chocolate chip cookie dough, a box of frozen snickerdoodle dough, a box of individual frozen garlic pizzas, two containers of premade mashed potatoes, and some other stuff I’m forgetting.

My company does an annual holiday food drive. When I was doing some shopping at Wal-Mart this weekend, I picked up a bunch of items for the food drive and kept in mind the things that I would like to get if I was the recipient. I picked up cans of tuna fish, a bag of sugar, some bags of cereal, salad dressing, some Pringles, some Pop-Tarts, crackers, canned fruit and canned vegetables. The things I’d really want like fresh vegetables and fruits aren’t things that we collect for this food drive because they’ll spoil. I saw someone put a bag of ground coffee in the receptacle. I don’t drink the stuff, but if I did, that would be a treat to me.
