I knew I shouldn’t have gotten another pet.

I barely had enough resources to feed one, but I went ahead and got another pet just because it was cute. Because of my irresponsible actions, Laserz_King93 is perpetually starving. Thankfully, neopets cannot die, and you can feed them for free at the Soup Kitchen in Neopia Central.

At the same time, as far as soup kitchens go, all I know is that they help feed the needy, and that they are not limited to serving soup. I had read online that the food served at soup kitchens usually leave much to be desired in terms of taste, and I was compelled to find out if it was true.

In my curiosity, I reached out to local soup kitchens, Willing Hearts and Free Food For All (FFFA), and asked if I could sample their food in the name of serious investigative journalism, especially since Giving Week was just around the corner.

Also, it was almost the end of the month, and my bank account was nearly empty.
