Reply #21: Ramen noodles shouldn't be the only thing donated. I agree with you.

But, there are some people with no desire to eat anything but these fast, just-add-water meals. The homeless in Boston, for instance, used to love the ramen noodles because they could walk into a McDonald's late at night, and if they asked for a cup of hot water, they'd get it. They could then at least have something hot to eat.

While I would LOVE to see nothing but healthy foods eaten and donated, the truth is, people eat the way they eat, and I'd rather have someone who's a couple of meals away from starving to be able to eat SOMETHING -- ANYTHING. So, as I said in my post below, I donate healthy, natural, and organic things when I can, but also include a few things I wouldn't eat myself, for people who are hungry and DO need to eat. Giving people something they CAN eat is as important as giving them something they SHOULD eat, sometimes.
