Does free food taste much better?!


Question:

Does free food taste much better?

than paid for food


Answers:
Coming from a freeloading hippie, no, it does not.
I find that the food I pay for tastes much better than the food that I do not pay for. Why? Here is my reasoning:
1) The food might come from behind a grocery store (dumped food). This food isn't exactly as fresh as you'd like it to be. Grocery stores waste food all the time... and you never quite realize it. Where do all of those slightly bruised pears go when a less bruised shipment comes in? Out the back door. Free food.
2) Oops. I "forgot my wallet." Free food... for the price of friendship.
3) The food that I am given for free from friendly tax payers like all of you, and yes, including me, are donated from grocery stores. They give us the stuff no one will buy. Food brands whose companies have long since gone under, but the cans have not yet expired. Not being picky-choosy or anything, but it certainly isn't the best.
4) Begging on corners for free food? Guilt. Because there is some kid starving in Africa still wishing he had even the chance to beg on a street corner in AMERICA. Moreover, Los Angeles on Hollywood and Vine. [You'll know where to find me then... ;-) ]

And, lastly...
5) The food I'm given by friends or family... even I as a freeloader must say it just doesn't taste quite as good as the food I paid for with my hard-earned money. I appreciate every bite just that much more.

Yes, having some one else cook or pay for a meal makes it more special.

There is no such thing as free food. Somebody paid for it. I prefer to pay for my own food, thank you very much.

No, not always - free can mean cheap yucky food!!

Well, I agree that it tastes best when someone else prepares it for you. I don't know if it tastes better when its free, but I sure do appreciate it more.

in oh-so-many delightfully free ways

No not all the time

Free food prepared by someone who loves you is the best of all.

free samples at Sams club or the grocery store is always fun

but fresh food is the best, it is always nice if if come from an old friend or a new friend.

free food either comes from your parents or people that want something. unless you have a gift card.

Who says?

Yes,for those who cannot afford a square meal a day free food will taste much better.

Yes, and even tastier if you don't have to cook it yourself too!

Definitely!!!!!!!!!!!! But I would never eat free food samples that they dish out at Malls etc.........
