The volunteers are wonderful. I can't say enough good things about them. The food ranges from delicious to barely edible--but it's a bargain and a godsend for us, especially compared to what most people are paying for similar meals.

BUT...they have a tendency to put sugar in items that don't require it. Today, for example, we were served three different kinds of vegetables and some kind of sweetener was in each one (carrots, corn, sweet potato). A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) provides evidence that people who ate the largest amounts of added sugar had the highest blood triglyceride levels and the lowest HDL (good) cholesterol levels. In 2023, the BMJ listed additional harms. Go here to read more:

This should be an easy practice to change and if that happens, I'll remove this review and add more stars. Thanks!

Has anyone at CVS even read these one-star reviews? I've been filling prescriptions at CVS for years, and I've never ONCE had a transaction go smoothly–or without error. Right now I've been waiting on the phone for 30 minutes to fill a standard prescription that should be, but for some reasons never is, routine. Meanwhile my ears are assaulted by a horrible caterwauling noise in the background that seems calculated to drive me insane, while a message about vaccines (which doesn't apply to me) repeats over and over and over. I pray for the day when I have an opportunity to choose another pharmacy as part of my health care plan.
