14. yet I am always hearing how the Mormons "take such good care
of each other." I was a kid when I lived in SLC, but I know some of my friends were food needy and had multiple siblings. I lived in a basic middle class neighborhood but was remember when we raided cupboards for an after school snack I was shocked that at least two of my neighbor friends had little to eat, and what they did have wasn't that healthy.

One time I remember my friend with 8 siblings made mac-n-cheese with Miracle Whip instead of milk bc they were out-I thought it was nasty but she'd made it before and liked it well enough. If you're hungry enough with few options...My other friends often made noodles with tomato soup for dinner (the cheapest soup you can get). They liked my house bc we had real cheese, for instance (no Velveeta) and a garden. Never ever saw fresh produce at my friends'-you'd think the church would at least have some community garden or food bank, I'm really not sure what the whole "taking care of each other" rep is about. Maybe just emotional support and prayer, who knows.

I also remember Arctic Circle-yuck x10.
