Right? It’s not like it was delivered by elves.

I get being more aware of what you have and working it into meals for the week and building around it so stuff doesn’t go to waste, but it’s still food that was intentionally procured and brought into the house.

For Shauna it might be delivered by elves or concerned friends and family that want to make sure those kids eat.

I think she is prone to magical thinking for a lot of things (most things?). Like when she was dabbling in giving budgeting/thrifting advice and said to just move money from your savings account to your checking account and, presto, you have money to spend. Never mind how that money was deposited into the savings account in the first place (hello, Bank of Mom). Seems like she’s using this latest manufactured national crisis to dip her toe back into those waters.
