The other point you brought up is good too - these are all packaged foods that are going in a pantry somewhere, the poor kids probably haven't seen a fresh veggie in years . I distinctly remember one woman bragging about having 50 bags of chips in her stock, seemed healthy.
My wife and I commented on the chip stockpile as well. I thought chips only have a shelf life of at most 2 months. 50 bags of chips would last me the rest of my life at this point since I don't eat them, but even when I used to eat chips I only went though maybe one or two bags a month.
