If you knew you didn't like whatever and replaced it with items you WILL eat, then I see no problem with that. We all have different food tastes (likes and dislikes).
I know you need the help and I'm glad that you've been able to get the assistance you need. That said, the people at your work that made the donation, did it intending it to go to a particular charity I imagine. They didnt' buy it to give it to you. I think what you did was unethical and borderline theft.
dlk24, actually, they did buy it to give to the local food pantry, and what I replaced it with came from the local food pantry. I would agree that what I did was likely unethical, but would be hard pressed to go as far as theft - all of the food was replaced with food of equal value.
ok but that's not what you said. YOu said you took the "good" food and replaced it with food you would not eat. That led me to believe that you replaced higher quality food with lower quality food. That said, we do what we have to do to take care of our kids. I might have done what you did, who knows. I suggest you try to put some extra back when you have a few extra dollars and that would even the score so to speak.
