[Avodah] Fw: Rioting Over Food

[Ben Waxman]

Maybe not. I lived in a place where people ate the same thing 365 days a year, twice a day. If that is what you expect, than it is no big deal. 

Although I doubt that Bnei Yisrael had all the delicacies that they listed here (at least not all the time) I assume that the Egyptians gave them enough to eat because they wanted their slaves to work. You can't send a slave out to work if he is starving. However they probably gave them the simplest food possible which had the required calories.

I'm not much of a meat eater myself but I would probably have been one of the complainers in the desert, just being tired of eating the same thing every day.
