I'd have to re-read the book, but going off of memory, the book didn't strike me like that was about cookies, either. But when I imagined the movie version, with Amandla Stendberg and Jennifer Lawrence, and the simplified big gestures of things... Yeah, I was dreading that airmailed bread.
And yanno, I'd rather see Rue properly grieved for than her death all but ignored a la Darwin in XMFC (I wish to god I could consider that a spoiler), but after a bit, it starts looking like Katniss's grief is more important than Rue's death. And so forth. It's like playing whack-a-trope.
...although not having Jennifer Lawrence in that part would have helped lots.
