OOC 2 (Questions? Complaints? Ideas?)
Also consider the psychological ramifications.
Consider what happens when 10 or so well meaning folks with nummy food bits start passing them around, and people start hearing about it.
First, those ten are gonna get swarmed by more folks than they can possibly feed, asking for food, DEMANDING food, and will get a sad when they don't get the noms.
Second, any pilot or military person who later visits the town before things are stable is likely to get asked for food, and maybe get accosted when they say they don't have any to give. They might even be taken hostage in EXCHANGE for food.
Third, it might cause a food riot if folks think some are getting preferential treatment over others.
Right now things are stable because every one gets one MRE pack a day, and while that sucks, it's equal and it's fair. (see point three)
And at the risk of sounding mean, picky kids get to go to bed hungry, when their tummy growls enough they'll eat, even if they don't like it. Survival is funny that way, and an MRE will keep and keep and keep.
