How to put walkway the groceries on virtual families 2?

I can see the food on the left but my characters can't access it do they starve. I have this game on my iPhone and it is driving me crazy Please Help!
P.S. I've tried clicking on the items then the kitchen and that doesn't work.

Put the groceries on the kitchen's table. Then automatically the characters will go near the table & stat to put it in the refrigerator
