    They did. They wouldn’t have eaten otherwise. It was a dietary choice. When you get that old, you’ll die before you try new things. Nutrition is also very important. We we’re SUPPOSED to keep track of everyone’s nutritional needs, but honestly, no one does. I’m not trying to rep. Myself. That’s just the reality of the situation.

    I’ll give an example: (real world, this man died)

    You’re a man from Romania who survived the holocaust. You taught physics across Europe. You had children, but none of them talk to you because you’re too conservative. They put you in a home. Now I, a random, young dude with 0% understanding of what you went through, is trying to keep you alive. You just want your meat broth with wine, or perhaps a rye sandwich with cooked salami and sauerkruat. No matter what, those people couldn’t even show up to meals in time, and they’d be cut off. The doctors gave them vitamins. Im not certified to do that. Treat people with kindness, please. I could give a list of their dietary needs. We could go all day.

    I don’t agree with old, conservative views, but I’ll keep your Grandpa alive while facilitating their diet/ religious views. I don’t like it, but that’s how it is, unless you want to change it.
