So, just half to death then?

If they’re a luxury, how do you explain people turning them down because they can’t be bothered to store them?

Says the guy who can’t be bothered to cook some free fucking cauliflower.

Literally the third sentence in the OP:

“We were trying to give away cases of the food on Wednesday, but people were turning it down because they had no place to store a case of tomatoes, or cauliflower.”

you’ve had one hell of a blessed life

I have indeed, and quite a lot of that is thanks to not complaining about being given free food when I was broke.

“Oh boy, I can’t take these free cauliflowers because I live in a sketchy neighborhood where people are just going to steal it.”

Said no one, ever.

Sure, if I was starving and there’s nothing else available, why not? Cauliflower has a lot of vitamins, certainly not the worst thing you could eat. Snubbing your nose at that sounds like privilege to me.

Not everyone who goes to the food bank is homeless. Plenty of people these days can’t afford grocery store prices and have families to feed, and cauliflower is a healthy and nutritious vegetable that’s full of vitamins. But nooo, apparently it’s too much of a hassle to cook it.

Yay, free watermelons!

Give me some ranch dressing and I’ll eat a whole head of cauliflower raw. And the rest I’ll use to throw at your idiot visage.

Have you considered giving it away to your neighbors? That’s what I would do if I was given more cauliflower than I know what to do with. Consider that not everyone even has the means to make it to the food bank.

And what if I don’t end up using the whole box if it’s going to rot away at the food bank anyways? I’d take the whole box if need be, and I’d eat as much as I physically can and try to give away the rest before it spoils. Literally all I’m hearing in this thread is “I don’t want to eat cauliflower because chicken wings taste better”.

I might be privileged enough to be able to afford to buy whatever food I want at the moment, but you can bet your ass that if I was broke and forced to go to the food bank, I’d be stoked AF to get a whole box of cauliflower for free, and I’d be eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Sounds like you just don’t want to eat your veggies, princess.

Something something beggars can’t be choosers.

Cooking cauliflower isn’t rocket science. All you need is a pot and some water, and maybe a bit of salt. You can even eat it with your hands if you lack utensils. It’s also good raw with some ranch dressing. You’re making it sound a lot more complicated than it really is.

Please explain how that would solve the issue of people not wanting to eat their vegetables.

Jesus Christ, get a room

That’s a bad comparison because it’s generally easier to scale up production lines than it is to increase university capacity.

The most expensive part of product development is the R&D, because that’s where all the university grads go. Manufacturing, on the other hand, can often be automized, and generally only requires basic education. University educators, on the other hand, usually require at least a PhD, and class sizes are limited not only by the number of teaching staff, but also available classrooms, dorm rooms, and, depending on the subject, lab space, all of which is very expensive.

Nothing concrete, but it’s an important detail to the story that was mentioned in the video, and the article just completely ignored that.

I will give him credit for that.
