if you've worked at soup kitchen, which your comment indicates you have not, you would know that serving people what they want to eat is the dignified way to give people food.
It was thirty years ago. I wasn't the one choosing what to cook. I just poured out bowls of soup. I didn't realize these days soup kitchens take orders! We surely do have a remarkable abundance of food in this country that even those without can choose what they want to be given from charity.
