Good point--there isn't a link to an article so who knows--maybe the parents really don't mind the food but the daughter just needed something to write about for some publication
If she wrote for The Onion:
That food was barely fit to eat. Sushi was totally absent from the menu. No vegan options, and hardly anything was organic or locally sourced. No almond milk, no soy milk, nothing. Just 1%, 2%, whole and skim regular milk... from a cow of all creatures! Eggs from a chicken that wasn't free range. And corn fed beef at every meal.
Like the headline says, the food there was barely fit for human consumption but my parents ate it anyway because it was free. They never liked those juicy high fat ribs, or the fresh non-organic apple pies. The non-artisanal french baguettes had GMO wheat (wheat!) flour in them. Ewww. But because it was all paid for, they ate it anyway.
They feel guilty when they come visit me and rarely allow me to treat them to a meal at my favorite Mexican Indian Italian vegan fushion cuisine restaurant. Who doesn't love Mexican Naan Pizza? I can't hardly get them to go to any good restaurants with me. They always say they want to wait and eat back at their mess hall. It's called a "mess" hall for a reason. Gross. Who could eat that stuff. Just because it's free.
