Who says there’s no free lunch?

As the coronavirus crisis continues to inspire the best in Americans, a mystery “neighborhood mom” has started leaving out sack lunches on a table outside of a traffic circle in Severna Park, Md., every afternoon “for anyone who needs it," The Capital Gazette reported.

“I will be leaving some healthy sack lunches on this table for you if you are hungry and need to eat. Made with love by a neighborhood mom in a clean and sanitized kitchen,” the sign, hanging from a modest table covered by a tarp, reads.

A larger sign next to it succinctly says, “Free lunch.”

"Who says there’s no free lunch?"

Somebody bought it (see tag line).

But this is great because it's an honest transaction. One part gets a lunch, and the other gets the satisfaction of giving a gift.

Quite different from taxes, where a third party steals and gives away someone else's money.

I wouldn’t eat something I found left on a table. I don’t care if it was left by an anonymous “neighborhood mom”.

Sadly I’m with you. More likely a naive mom than not, but far too many bad incidents by crazies, only likely to increase the longer this goes.

The Health Inspector is not amused.

Were Obama still president, the FDA would have already sent out a SWAT team to shut it down.
