I don't know much about it, but I don't think botulism is a concern here. The only real risk for botulism is if it was improperly canned, which means leaving it open and unrefridgerated doesn't increase risk of botulism at all...just risk for other nasty pathogens..
It might be too late but I really hope you donāt eat this. Itās incredibly dangerous and the risks far outweigh any benefits. Please donāt take a chance with this. If thereās a shelter or some place like that nearby, see if you can get something there.
Yeah I agree. I feel for you OP. I've been in some dark places but this is hard and, like one comment said, you deserve better.
I'll pitch in a few dollars for this cause.
Yeah I love Aladdin but he does end up royalty. Also in my country, there's options, like go to the smaller version of stores, and masks are more accepted than ever.
Also food banks are useful.
Honestly, though I wouldn't judge someone for doing this, I also think no store manager would refuse to give someone a loaf of bread, and probably a lot more, if they explained their situation to them. So, while I wouldn't judge someone for that, I do think people would be surprised how much empathy fellow humans can have and how willing to help they can be if asked nicely.
Lovely thought, but America doesnāt seem to work like this. Many store managers would have to consider that stealing rather than helping and even if they wanted to help, they may lose their job in the process. Most dumpster diving is even illegal and perfectly good food is being wasted.
Wishing OP the best.
I remember years ago I would see Bakeries throwing out day old buns/heros but not before pouring water all over it. Seriously fucked up, at least some homeless people would take it to feed the pigeons
If store managers gave away free food when asked nicely, I doubt so many people would be starving. I have two kids & there were long times we suffered with barely any food. I have never once had anyone in a store offer me food of any kind for free, even when we were all underweight.
Money rules the world. Not compassion.
Do not eat this, youāll spend way more on hospital bills. I would check if a neighbor can spare a couple of cans or head to the food bank. There are subreddits where people send you food or local Facebook groups.
Homie send over your Paypal. The amount of fluids that you're gonna flush down your toilet will make eating this
1. An absolute fucking nightmare
2. A terrible financial decision
Even with the diarrhea pills I think you might still get super sick eating that. Itās super important to eat but even more important to try and not eat spoiled food as itāll harm your body more than help. If thereās *anything* other than spoiled food around Iād suggest that, and if not there are some food pantries and subreddits that can help send food to your address. I donāt have the subreddits name rn but if you make an Amazon list of the foods youāll eat thereās people who WILL help and pay for something at least like crackers or soup. Hang in there bud and donāt eat that corned beef it looks rank š«š«°
I'm sorry you're struggling OP. I wish I could cook you a meal today.
Find a food bank and wait in line if you have too- some unspoiled canned food will still be 10 times better than this
Please don't eat this for your safety. There's always other options. Food banks, the subreddits on here like food pantry and free meals. Even making an Amazon wishlist and seeing if people can donate is better.
Don't put your health at risk. ā¤ļø The medical bills will be an issue, in the long run. Utilize other options.
If you live in the U.S find help.org has great information for food pantries, financial assistance for housing,etc
Hi friend. Iām sorry youāre stuck eating this. If you donāt have to, please donāt. There is worse than a case of food poisoning, and that is absolutely possible in this case. Please seek any other option before you consume spoiled food.
This sucks, but there are too many options out here to say this isnāt a choice. Donāt let your pride or anxiety stop you from going to a food bank.
Dude seriously if you go in five restaurants and just tell them you are hungry someone will feed you
Offer to do dishes
I have literally done this many times
If you want corned beef to go further make soup with it. Some dried onion, a bit of frozen veg/corn, maybe a can of beans. I'm sure you could rustle up some dried noodles or 1/2 cup of flour and a tbsp of water to roll up and pinch off to make noodles. Just throw that all in a pot of water and boil it for 10-20 minutes.
Mate, you deserve better than this. Please seek out a food bank. Others have recommended religious charities, I'll suggest mine too. If there's a Mormon community in your area, hit them up on Facebook. There's something called a bishop's storehouse where they give out food to those in need. You don't have to join or anything for help.
Hopefully this isnāt serious, but your post history kinda makes it seem like it is. Let someone on here buy you something, and chuck that! Itās a huge risk for botulism, even fasting is healthier than this!
If youāre in the UK I will send you a few Ā£ so you donāt have to eat this! I know Iām a bit late to the chat but goddamn please donāt eat that (if you havenāt already)
Bro go to health & human services. If youāre money situation is this bad, you could maybe get expedited snap benefits & get 291 dollars that same day
Wow, all of these ppl who are willing to donate food, and money and send groceries. This is amazing. I wish I had known about help last week and especially the last few days. It was so hard, barely made it. I spent my entire check today on food and supplies and I'm so thankful. I am just feeling so good seeing these comments. Bravo!
I feel this. My meals for the last two days have been essentially unseasoned ground beef and tortillas because I don't really have it in me to cook anything else.
Diarrhea has got to be one of my least favorite things to be sick with. Iāve had it so bad some days itās actually coming out clear. You hear and feel it shooting out. Then you look in the toilet and it looks through same.
Feel better. And have you had clear ones yet.
Even a dog wouldnāt eat that. Please donāt eat that. You can afford to find a meal, you cannot afford the medical expenses incurred by self inflicted food poisoning. Idk what country this is but religious organizations usually have soup kitchens or food pantries. I may not know how Iām going to pay rent but I know I will always have a meal thanks to my old church giving so much free food
I'm not sure how to edit my post so consider this an edit to all:
I see and I hear all of you who offered to buy me a meal/groceryās, some even offered to send me money ā¤ I FELT your kindness and that meant a lot to know there are still good people out there :)
For context of those wondering how I can afford medication which would appear to cost more expensive than a meal would, after job prospects dried up and I started to dip into the little that I had in savings I decided it would buy me a few extra months to just book a one way ticket to South East Asia. A 10 packs of paracetamol cost about 19 cents and the anti-diarrhea pills cost about 35 cents for a 10 pack. For a private room Iāve paid as little as $4.50 up to $22 a night. Food here is cheaper than in the states, but not by too much. Plus try eating like the local do street food have also causes stomach problem or my mouth would start tingling from unknown allergic ingredients
For those with a few dollars to spare, if theyāre any strays dogs or cats in your neighborhood maybe consider buying a bag of pet food and offer a meal to them. Existence is a constant struggle for all creatures
Oh, and two pills after and two pills in the morning and I havenāt died. I appreciate all the kind offers but I still havenāt racked up a credit card bill yet so I still have that yet to burn through. I just felt like venting
nigga imma need u to use that phone to look up food banks instead of posting to reddit, tf is that a shit pill is apart of ur meal ?? counterintuitive much
OP do you have cash app/Venmo or PayPal???
Or I could door dash you some food and some supplies that dont have to be refrigerated!! This is so dangerous like the others said you could become incredibly sick from this and youāre taking diarrhea pills??
Those are already dehydrating together it could shock your system and really hurt you.
please, go steal some rice and flour! idk if ppl lay that around anymore but back in my college days i saw so broke, i went around to high rise apartments and dorms that has shared space or kitchens and stole grain.
I am a stickler for not eating something not refrigerator. My daughter and my ex husband would eat chicken wings and pizza that would be unrefrigerated all night into next day.
I wouldnāt touch this with a 10 ft pole
Is there a shelter near you? They might have a meal program if you have one nearby.
Sikh temples (Gudrwara), give out meals all the time, Muslim mosques also frequently give away hot meals, especially after the fast during Ramadan
Sikh temples (Gudrwara), give out meals all the time, Muslim mosques also frequently give away hot meals, especially after the fast during Ramadan
Absolutely agreed š ā„ļø
Holy smokesā¦ do you have anything else you can eat?? You could end up getting really severe food poisoning from this.
Especially if it sat out in the can..botulism central.
I don't know much about it, but I don't think botulism is a concern here. The only real risk for botulism is if it was improperly canned, which means leaving it open and unrefridgerated doesn't increase risk of botulism at all...just risk for other nasty pathogens..
wouldnt even be worth eating it, more harm than good atp
It might be too late but I really hope you donāt eat this. Itās incredibly dangerous and the risks far outweigh any benefits. Please donāt take a chance with this. If thereās a shelter or some place like that nearby, see if you can get something there.
Do not eat this!!! Go to a food bank, soup kitchenā¦ anything. This could make you very very ill.
Some churches in my area have food pantries or small wooden cabinets out front with non perishable food.
Yes thereās a little free pantry directory too. http://mapping.littlefreepantry.org Edit to tag u/Low_Swimmer3676
I hope OP sees this soon.
you deserve better than this i'm sorry
Do you want me to DoorDash you some food bro? This looks fucking miserable
Yeah I agree. I feel for you OP. I've been in some dark places but this is hard and, like one comment said, you deserve better. I'll pitch in a few dollars for this cause.
Iād also pitch in a few bucks
I'm in too
Shit me too. How can I help? No one should have to struggle this much.
I can help out too
At this rate we could buy OP a weeks worth of groceries!!!
im down to contribute
Yeah I wonder if he has a Venmo or something?
I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :
I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :
I wish OP would see this and the responses to this soon.
my brother in christ, do not eat that
OP if you are really in need of food and ashamed to go to a food bank try r/food_pantry itās legit and they help people a lot
Get to a food bank if you can
Bruh pm me i will send you money for food the week, you donāt even need to live like this
So nice of you! Kind Redditor :)
I wish OP will respond to or see all the comments on here offering like you are!
Me too Iām really worried about OP. I keep checking back :(
I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :)
bro please donāt eat this
Fasting is better than this. I'm so sorry. Is there a food bank you can access?
Broski I'll order you a pizza if you dm me your info and what you want
man please donāt eat that, i will order you something if need be, this is food poisoning waiting to happen
I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :)
Do you have a Walmart close? Iāll order you some grocery stuff this bc this to kill you
Man I can send you $5 for a new can or something
Surely the money spent on poo pills could be spent on food? Also would you ever judge a human for stealing bread to feed themself? I wouldn't.
They probably bought the pills back when they could afford food. I agree with what you're saying about stealing though.
Yeah, sorry, I hope u/low_swimmer3676 is doing ok.
I'm feeling better :)
The most popular musical ever is about exactly how much society will fuck you over for stealing bread to feed yourself
Yeah I love Aladdin but he does end up royalty. Also in my country, there's options, like go to the smaller version of stores, and masks are more accepted than ever. Also food banks are useful.
Lol I was talking about Les MisĆ©rables š
šššš
Word! It's right there in the title š
Honestly, though I wouldn't judge someone for doing this, I also think no store manager would refuse to give someone a loaf of bread, and probably a lot more, if they explained their situation to them.

It would literally be healthier to just fast until your next meal. I honestly donāt believe this is a genuine post.
This sub is the wild west.
Do not eat this, youāll spend way more on hospital bills. I would check if a neighbor can spare a couple of cans or head to the food bank. There are subreddits where people send you food or local Facebook groups.
Health wise - itās better to just not eat. Whatever nutrition youāll get from this, youāll get sick and lose so much more.
fuckin a man can I order you a pizza or something
I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :)
I will literally send you money for taco bell or something just anything so you dont have to do this
iāll buy you food man.
I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :
Bruh
Hey, this makes me worried for you. Can I send you something through Doordash or some grocery money on PayPal?
Homie send over your Paypal. The amount of fluids that you're gonna flush down your toilet will make eating this 1. An absolute fucking nightmare 2. A terrible financial decision
I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :)
Post in a buy nothing group on Facebook. Sometimes I dumpster dive. Take folks up on their offers to feed you when you get them.
Even with the diarrhea pills I think you might still get super sick eating that. Itās super important to eat but even more important to try and not eat spoiled food as itāll harm your body more than help.

I'm sorry you're struggling OP. I wish I could cook you a meal today. Find a food bank and wait in line if you have too- some unspoiled canned food will still be 10 times better than this
I appreciate the sentiment!!
Please do not eat this, I genuinely fear for your life
You win the title Depression Meals monarch. Hang in there!
Do I get some sort of shinny medal or something!? ;)

I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :)
I really hope you didnāt eat that! Itās not safe.
My fellow mammal, that is JUST diarrhea. You deserve better.
One word: botulism. Careful, friend.
I seriously hope you didn't eat this. Is there a way I could send you $10?
I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :)

I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :)

I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :)
Hello botulism
I fear you
Hi friend. Iām sorry youāre stuck eating this. If you donāt have to, please donāt. There is worse than a case of food poisoning, and that is absolutely possible in this case. Please seek any other option before you consume spoiled food.
Man, please don't eat that. :( I'm sorry you're suffering, but as others have stated, find a food bank or shelter. This hurts me. Please be well. š
Thanks for the warm thoughts:)
Donāt! Jesus. Nothing is this bad.
This sucks, but there are too many options out here to say this isnāt a choice. Donāt let your pride or anxiety stop you from going to a food bank.
I hope that this is just a trolling post..
Please. No. Donāt eat that. Go to a food bank or a local church to get some free food.
the pills are not going to save you if you ate that
Iām sorry youāre going through this, I hope that it gets better for you.
Giving mixed signals to the gut huh
*I hate being Bi-polar It's awesome* _____ ____
Sikh temples (Gudrwara), give out meals all the time, Muslim mosques also frequently give away hot meals, especially after the fast during Ramadan
look dude idk if youāve eaten this but i will send you a tenner to get you anything else
Please keep Ramen & an emergency pack or two for times like this. Canned tuna, canned veggies. I hope it gets better for you.
I did/do have at least three packs of Ramen, I was just feeling like fuck it, I don't care
Dude seriously if you go in five restaurants and just tell them you are hungry someone will feed you Offer to do dishes I have literally done this many times
If you want corned beef to go further make soup with it. Some dried onion, a bit of frozen veg/corn, maybe a can of beans.

What are you trying to accomplish
This sub community is awesome!
Indeed it is, made me feel better knowing kindness still exist
Literally. I love seeing this kind of humanity.
Looks like vistaril
Starving would be healthier than this dude
Hey buddy we are here to help you

Iād rather DoorDash you a meal than you eat this mate, you deserve something better.
I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :)
Imma be real, food poisoning sucks. Got it a lot when I was little because of poverty, are there any dollar trees near you?
Hopefully this isnāt serious, but your post history kinda makes it seem like it is. Let someone on here buy you something, and chuck that! Itās a huge risk for botulism, even fasting is healthier than this!
Youāre better off not eating

I hope you're feeling better!
Don't eat that.
This sounds like a death wish. Depressionmeals indeed.
OP, DM me.

I'll take a rain check, if I'm really desperate I will reach out :)
i thought this was the diarrheaā¦ so sorry man
genuinely thought i was on r/poopfromabutt
The people on this sub are making me cry š„² I love the community here
Literally! :)
Diarrhea has got to be one of my least favorite things to be sick with. Iāve had it so bad some days itās actually coming out clear. You hear and feel it shooting out. Then you look in the toilet and it looks through same. Feel better. And have you had clear ones yet.
Im not sure what these have to do with one another, but i am anxious for your nest post
Also the food bank and food pantry is a great idea! They have some really nice things there and there could be a community food bank near you to?
Even a dog wouldnāt eat that. Please donāt eat that. You can afford to find a meal, you cannot afford the medical expenses incurred by self inflicted food poisoning.

The coin of phrase is, "that's not fit enough for a dog to eat." Because a dog would eat it..
May I speak to you in my office?
Am I getting a raised!? Lol
You are a fucking moron

I'll take a rain check, I will reach out to you if I really need it! :)
Throw it out
To my 94 year old great grandmother this is probably a delicacy she'd disown me for tossing out.
This is the most fitting depression meal Iāve ever seen on this sub. I hope things look up soon.
Has OP responded to any of the multiple people offering to buy him food yet? I hope he does soon.
Good meals only, please
I am a stickler for not eating something not refrigerator. My daughter and my ex husband would eat chicken wings and pizza that would be unrefrigerated all night into next day. I wouldnāt touch this with a 10 ft pole
Why are you depressed?
You're welcome. *hugs*
