RANT idk how to do a readmore on mobile

my family has always been poor enough to need to go to food banks and in ny it was never an issue whether it was through a church or a govt program it was reliable (if u got there early) and the food was safe. My mother still goes to the food banks now that we live in Florida. She still qualifies for sure too. One of them is set up through her building complex even. I go with her to carry foods up to her apartment. She's vegetarian so she gives me the meats. And they're always rotting and stinking by the time they defrost its really pretty terrible. I try my best to cut around and salvage what I can but they're usually a month out from the EXP date not even the sell by date and grey and reeking. I threw out a bag of spoiled meats this morning and I don't feel bad for "taking resources from the poor" bc I am the poor fuck you and also I kept someone from eating it or from getting it all the way home only to be dissapointed and angry. But I'm dissapointed and angry. Not that I don't have that food, I've got plenty of pantry stuff I've learned to feed myself thru hard times. I'm angry that they would donate that at all so it can be a charity write off for the stores rather than just weekly shrink. Or that it was donated in time and sat on trucks or shelves until paperwork on each item was completed and okd for donation. I guess beggars can't be choosers. Got a grocery bag of loose mushrooms and some pastries though so I can't moan too much.

#theres no order to these places either which is insane considering fl has had the highest homelessness rates for years #my stuff #some thick ny strip steaks i was going to do steak au poivre or if i needed to cut a lot some steak diane #bc i figures id really need to cook and cover these but i started cutting a trimming #and i grew up vegetarian yes so all meat is smelly to me especially beef but this had a green sheen and holes in it in some spots #eugh #and i havent eaten yet and now im nauseous ans i work in a bit augh
