Regarding the food items, Jack came up with a list that looks like this:
-eggs
-whole milk
-butter
-potatoes
-flour or oats
-brown rice
-coffee beans
-sugar or honey
-salt
-dried pinto beans
I agree with most of this, however, we did have a dispute over swapping out coffee beans for something else or not. The benefits of coffee are that it may offer something for people they are used to, and are part of their routine, beneficial for holding up wherever we go mentally. It also prevents caffeine withdrawal to anyone this concerns, and could help staying awake.
The disadvantages of coffee are that it takes up a slot for something that could have more nutritional value, especially vitamins, or one more thing that could offer a little bit more variety.
Alternatively the slot could be filled with something else that people could estimate as something that makes them feel good, like chocolate
or alcoh, depending on how many people actually drink coffee here, or value coffee higher than other comfort foods/beverages.
It would be great if you can offer your thoughts, so we can come to an agreement. We should roll with whatever most people prefer, there is no right or wrong in this case, but every opinion matters, and should be taken into account.
