Who Says There's No Free Lunch?

I can tell you, first hand, that getting old is pretty shitty. But there are some perks. I can get into a movie theatre, high school or even college basketball game at a reduced rate. But I was completely unaware that I am also entitled to free lunches. Northampton County's 11 senior centers offer a free hot lunch daily to anyone over the age of 60, so long as a reservation is made the day before.

"We want to be as proactive as possible to protect the health of our older residents by making sure they have access to adequate nutrition,” says Executive Lamont McClure. He is also concerned that SNAP benefits could be cut off if there's another government shut down.

Here are the 11 senior centers where I can eat for free. One of them is convenienly located next to the courthouse.

I hope it's dairy free. I wonder if they serve Thai?

    Bernie, A Harvard Prof says no more than 6 French fries at a sitting meal. He’s right. Don’t eat that stuff . I stated before on your blog , you don’t loose weight by exercise,it’s intake management. Quantify issue by use of surgeon generals chart to know individual peramater of intake. Everything else is hokes pockes. Fat rats for example do not live as lone as skinny rats . So, I urge you to look at what I said seriously. I did it ,you can do it

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
