This is just a small review that I wanted to do on our town's Meals on Wheels program. I cannot believe the price they charge for no more food then they serve these people.
I was sitting at a neighbor's house when his meals on wheels came. When he opened his container, I could not believe what it held, or should I say what it did not hold. There was one small piece of chicken, a small amount of some kind of potatoes, and a small amount of vegetables. They also get a slice of homemade bread, fruit, and milk.
The first thing I noticed, was how small of servings they give these people. They charge these people $88 a month, and then serve them very little food. I know that they have to abide by government regulations, but my neighbor that received the meals needs more nutrition then what was in that box.
The second thing I noticed was the poor quality of the food that was served. It definitely did not look appetizing in the way that it was just thrown in the container. The way that it was cooked did not look appealing either.
I know that $88 a month does not seem like a lot for a meal five days a week, and it really isn't, but I feel just because these are older people that are getting these meals, does not mean they cannot be a little more appealing and a little more in size of portions.
Okay, I am done with my small rant for now. I just felt the need to vent after I saw the poor quality of the meal that my neighbor received.
