That's a pretty cheap shot, Jerome. If it was about people just wanting the stuff they liked we'd be building a list of nacho toppings. It's taking people's mental health and functionality into consideration, and giving them one normal thing to look forward to whatever we get thrown into.
We'll have the eggs and the brown rice that are also pretty loaded, and basically everything else on that list has one benefit or another. You could try grabbing the bag of oranges from the fridge before the end of the day and see if that counts as one of your personal items. Maybe we can get away with everyone picking one thing and adding it to their stuff. The rules don't say when it had to be ours to count.
