Dear chefs, take it easy on the tomatoes and citrus in these cold winter months

We don't get a lot of sleep. It's not great sleep. Many of us are smokers and drinkers. Most of us are into the coffee. And when it gets cold, we're out in the cold wind for way longer than you are. That all means that our lips are dry and cracked and don't need any extra acids messing with them. Soup kitchen food, and north-american food in general, tends to be really acidic. We're really into tomato sauce, orange juice, and like I said, coffee.

We have no opportunity to care for our lips. The lip balm products that we get are cheap petroleum crap that doesn't really help that much. We're not good at protecting our faces from the wind.

So please, it sounds silly, and I know we, as the people who eat your food, are not stakeholders, we're the product, so we don't expect feedback to be considered. But still. Take it easy on the tomato sauce.
