(4,033 posts)everything trump says will be contained in these packages, is what I receive monthly at my local Food Pantry. My benefits I use for fresh produce/fruit, meat that might not be in my Pantry's package. I also use it for broth, sauces, etc. Monthly I also go to what is called Produce to People. It's run by the County Food Bank and I'm able to supplement my produce needs.
I don't want a freaking box of donated "American" food, that is full of sodium and salt. I'm diabetic and I want to make healthy, nutritious and tasty meals. What about those with food allergies? Think allergies to peanuts, and trump sending peanut butter to these people.
I honestly believe this idea was floated by "American" manufacturers whose product is not being bought by Americans. Often these manufacturers, don't donate to Food Banks. In all honestly, I look at the labels of all my food to find where it is from. A lot of what I receive from the Food Pantry is from Canada. From Canada I receive tomatoes, asparagus, eggplant, potatoes, and the best Mac & Cheese from Italpasta. From Mexico I receive tomatoes, peppers and salsa. A lot of goods are from the US, the canned goods for sure are, vegetables and fruit.
So no thanks, trump. You are a piece of freaking shit.
