Do you think its still nice if I gave cheeze-its to a homeless person instead of something healthy?

[Still-alive]

I saw this homeless woman sitting with her small dog in a stroller outside a store. She held up a sign saying she was very hungry. All i had on me was a small bag of these cheeze it cracker thingies. She accepted immediately and was thankful.

i felt good but i teeny but guilty because these aren’t the healthiest treats in the world lol. In fact they are very high jn sodium and saturated fat.

still do you think this was over all a good thing i did?

just like this only the dog was small in a stroller

Hey as long as they get something to eat its fine

at least you gave her something.

As long as she was happy with it (she was)

Its ok but yeah you should try to give them healthy foods more often

No its not good to give homeless people unhealthy foods regardless of your intentions.

I have a different opinion (what?)

Anything to settle the stomach rumblings is greatly appreciated in her situation, I’m sure. I bought a guy a dirty water hot dog at a Sabrett’s stand in Manhattan, I don’t think either of us were eating well that day, lmao, but it’s fuel in the tank, albeit low-quality.

Food is food. Beggars can’t be choosers. If it’s something that helps them not starve, then they should be grateful unless they’re allergic to it.


My sister bought a mince & cheese pie for a homeless man last week and gave it to him, and he threw it at her and demanded that she buy him some roast chicken instead. So she left and didn’t go back. If they’re going to be disrespectful and ungrateful towards people trying to help them, then they should get nothing.

Shieeeeet, that's better than how I gave a homeless man more than what he asked for for keeping me company when i locked my keys in my car. Then got pissed with me the next day because I gave the other man some more money and a subway coupon.

first, any luxury even a fatty doughnut is a nice gift and luxury that they might not be able to afford. second cheesits are mostly good health despite fat, almost like potato chips because carbs are needed and cheese is healthy despite fat and salt. concentrated protien. so cheezits is better than other stuff. and if made in u. s. probably enriched flour too meaning more b vitamins than wheat flour which has b vitamins.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Well, at least you can afford to give them snacks. I recalled buying this elderly homeless man at the local McDonald's with a meal and a drink, and he thanked me.

While it isn't the healthiest thing, most people who are very ravenous will eat anything. My grandma once took a homeless guy to lunch and bought him fast food and cherry pie instead of just giving him money.

[sheenagwapa]

that's fine.. what i don't like is giving homeless people food that have been eaten unless they ask for it. we have Cheez it to in my country but it's a junkfood. it's one of my fave junkfood since i was a kid

[catarecute]

what they need isn't food its a roof over their head but food is beter than nothing. if i had money i would house every single homeless person that i know but right now i am too poor

It's ok, at least you gave her something to eat. Most people don't and you had a good intention. But yes, it would be nice if you gave her something healthier.

[gothbxtch]

it’s still nice and it’s what you had on you at the time. a lot of people are really shitty about the homeless and refuse to help them, so you’re a lot kinder than some!

[Sweetsurprize]

An apple would probably cost less than those junk foods. And help her live longer too.

[AlbantheGreat]

The chemical of cheeze-its seems garbage for me. It's unealthy as hell. On the long run, it's making him a disservice. But many homeless people I met asked for that kind of garbage, so.

[artgorgeous]

If you eat it, why they can't? It won't kill or poison them, so its ok.

[Pink2000]

I mean it’s definitely better than nothing.

[Sparkie460]

As long as she was appreciative for it, it's ok.
