Oh, come on. That is a cartoonish stereotype. Oh the other hand,
when there are food drives, I see that many of us good citizens think
that we must supply the needy with boxed mac and cheese and the like.
If we buy the boxed mac and cheese because it is a budget-friendly
food item to give, couldn't we be more understanding about the reasons
that money-challenged folks buy the boxed stuff? Just sayin'
