    I mean, the pantries ask for canned goods, because they’re shelf stable, portable, safe.

    Not sure where you think this is anything like used needles.

    It sounds like you just hate poor people. They aren’t addicted to food, they need it to live. You’ll probably be surprised to learn that people starve when they dont get food.

    Canned goods are non-perishable. Used needles carry contaminate. One is useful, the other isn’t.

      Umm… is this post edited or something. I’m seeing

      Donating canned goods to food pantries is like donating needles and syringes to a cancer research organization

      I don’t see the word “used” in it. So, it sounds like he’s saying donating medical supplies to an organization that does medical research?

      To which I’d say yes both seem helpful to an organization that helps people in need.
