um, I donate things like canned vegetables because they can use canned
vegetables but they cannot use frozen or fresh vegetable. I do not buy canned
vegetables because I do not like them. I cannot give them the fresh or frozen
vegetables I prefer. Do you need a picture drawn out?

I donate graham crackers and saltines because I've been told they are useful
and needed. I do not eat graham crackers or saltines. I don't really care for
them, but since they are useful I donate them.

I do eat kanned kidney, black and great northern beans and I also donate
those.

The stuff that I donate is not old crap sitting in my pantry. I almost always
buy stuff specifically for food drives.

I would never DREAM of giving out of date, inedible or otherwise gross food. A
food bank is not a trash receptacle for the stuff I don't want you wiener
patrol.

Perhaps, instead of spending so much time lecturing me on perceived
infractions, you should spend more time lightening the hell up.
