MEALS‐ON‐WHEELS
Abstract
It is a sad reflection on the development of nations that as they move from the extended family structure to that of the nuclear family, many of the responsible elements of the former are rejected. Much of the movement ‘forward’ has focused on technological development which, by its very nature, should be supportive to the elements of a caring society and not, as has often occurred, be to the detriment of the factors which make up its caring nature. In our highly developed, urbanised, commuter orientated, fast lane, high rise society, it has required the legislative activity of government edict and the care of charitable organisations to protect those most at risk. One sensitive area is that of feeding those who are no longer cared for by the extended family, some of our elderly population.
