Well, they can push papers in favor of Kraft in some future matter. Quid pro quo.
Mac & cheese - one of the cheapest meals around. There is no reason why each of these govt employees didn’t already have a few boxes of mac & cheese sitting in their pantries, along w/some peanut butter & jelly, spaghetti & tomato sauce, maybe some spam, a loaf of bread and milk in the freezer, or a box of powdered milk, and maybe some packs of ground beef & some frozen veg. I have no sympathy. These are all cheap foods that will get you by and don’t cost a lot to put in food storage.
