Having done some work in ‘conditions’ where the only job was ‘make it happen’, there comes a time when value is having food in one’s hand that is edible. There is nothing secondary that matters, although one can wring ones hand, analyse and applaud or criticise the provider. If Woolies can reliably provide a box of sustenance and some other bits and things to carry on, for those that need it, never out of stock and everything is edible or usable whether 1 or 5 health star items, good or poor value, it serves a real need according to everything I read in the media.
The box is aimed at those without a friendly neighbour or family member to help out where there is no acceptable / practical alternative. Online shopping? There are still many reports of 25% of items out of stock at fulfilment, so that is not a guaranteed meal plus whatever and can create angst and anxiety.
Unless it is clearly a cynical rip I give credit for the effort, unless the effort is one of those 75% marketing 0~25% reality ‘projects’.
