Then solve the problem: teach them how to cook, using whatever means available.
Crock pots, hot plates, rice cookers (see Ebert’s book), etc are cheap & only need an outlet.
One cast iron pan can be enough for most foods, even over a scrap wood fire.
And plenty of food can be had at room temperature.
This “but they don’t have the resources” is nonsense. I can cook you sustaining food for $1/plate indefinitely with any resources you supply. The only thing lacking is education, and we’re dumping insane money into public schools that should be teaching such basics.
“The only thing lacking is education, and we’re dumping insane money into public schools that should be teaching such basics.”
I fully agree. But they’re out there. They’re idiots when it comes to knowing how to take care of themselves. This is exactly what the socialists want.
I can put a roast in, with carrots, onions, celery and potatoes, and come home from work to a good meal.
Sunday afternoon and I can hollow out 5 bell peppers. Fill with some ground beef, rice and tomatoes. In the evening, I'm putting them in plastic containers in the freezer, for lunches.
I've got about 4-5 crock pots.
I've had Sundays with 3 going, making lunches for at work, for the next month.
