10. I know when I used to go down to the Bowery to feed the

homeless there, we had some pretty strict rules about what they could be given.

Bologna sandwiches on white bread, no condiments.
Apples.
Water.

This was in order to prevent upset stomachs because a lot of these poor folks were either alcoholics or drug addicts.

When our church does it, they include cookies. I don't know if anyone has been ill from that. I know that the program here to feed/house the homeless does feed them very well, so maybe it isn't an issue.
