Wait - do you think that people who need food banks have a ton of free time for cooking clubs? Do you think it’s because they don’t work enough instead of what everyone knows which is that most people on the edge can’t make rent if they only have one job?

The jars likely cost more than the volume of produce it could store.

Also - have to arrange logistics for labor, supplies, and a kitchen to do the boiling in. Now that you are making a cooked food product, your kitchen also likely needs a license.

And insurance in case your rushed pickling operation creates any jars that go foul and anyone gets sick.

Also – ew. Not even the destitute want pickled cauliflower.

I’m guessing your Mom is now on ‘team Bear’.

I would consider that your Mom is the problem here except that the dudes lumped you in with being burned alive, and that suggests they are the PoS.
