0 claps for Meals on Wheels

Reverse thinspo? More like reverse EATspo! For those who don't know, Meals on Wheels is a volunteer service for cute lil old folkies who can't leave their apartments to buy food and don't have the cash-money to check into a death-door home( Srrrsly, I hear those places are pricey). It's simple though. A volunteer picks up some pre-made meals n' delivers them to the home, chats up an old person for a few mins and then continues for a couple hours. It's pretty sweet.

Thing is, a lot of these elderlies have brittle organs, so their food is ingredient-selective depending on their condition. Example: needs low sodium, vegetarian, has high cholesterol etc. This means they get stuck with disgrossting entrees like soupy soggy beef and side dishes like mashed rice and dried leaks( I know, how complimentary, right?)

I have to stress on grody smell when i distributed them into plastic baggies. Holy crapasaurus! This shit was so vile. It reeked of a hospital dipped in rotten cheese and soaked garbage juices(yes, garbage juices). It made me realize how nasty food could be when you treat it like crud or sabotage it, or whatever you do, that doesn't make it taste like Meals on Wheels loves you. I honestly didn't chew one solitary piece of food for a total of 5 hours after that (except of course Orbit's watermelon mist gum).

If you're ever crash dieting or restricting on the kcals, take a stiff wiff of these things, cuz they're fucking stink bombs!
