What would you expect from a prepper dweeb whose blog is called - The Economic Collapse - and writes books like - The Beginning of the End.

Don’t worry - food prices don’t affect inflation, so we’re good there.
I am not an authority on this but are not fast food places required to “dump” their pre-made foods within so many minutes of being prepared if it is not sold? 15-20 minutes or something similar?
It was a grotesque distortion of the character of the American people. This country is awash in soup kitchens for the poor and unemployed. They have to turn away volunteers.
i don’t give a damn how many people starve, how much food I waste is none of anyone’s business!
Restaurant portions have gotten increasingly larger and are left on the plate, partially uneaten, or taken home in “doggie bags.”
Maybe we could end waste by eliminating the use of corn to produce ethanol.
No, but the biggest threat to the American farmer is not drought, it is over production.
Simply put, we make to much corn, soybeans, and veggies to make a living farming. So the various programs were put in place to support that.
What’s wrong with doggie bags? BTW, as far as increasingly larger portions, I’ve been taking home doggie bags for over 50 years. If the portions were so much smaller then, why was I doing that?
America wastes food.
Well, we must have another new government program with the associated dozen or so new bureaucracies to fight this problem that the republicans caused.
“Unfortunately, we are also extremely greedy and greatly lacking in compassion.”
Tell that to my paycheck, where I’m robbed twice a month to feed a nation.
I guess the author won’t be pleased until there’s a shelter on every corner, and the (mostly voluntarily) homeless are able to live as comfortably as those of us who go to work every day.
Blathering idiot, this one.
A great threat to the American Farmer is production. With the high cost of seed, fertilizer, equipment, water, land, TAXES, government regulation, uncertain markets... some have found it less of a loss not to produce anything!
Almost every major street corner has someone standing on it holding a handmade sign. The sign usually reads ‘I AM HUNGRY’.
If they had not spent the money I gave them yesterday on tattoos and drugs maybe they would not be hungry.
Am I mean?
Same here. I always take home about half of my serving and eat it the next day. I love left overs! :)
“While we stuff our faces with more french fries and chicken wings, we have an appalling lack of compassion for those that are not able to take care of themselves.”
Liberals like to tell themselves this as though saying it makes them better people. However, it is a lie. No one starves in this country.
Nothing wrong with doggie bags; I take them myself. I was simply making an observation. I do, however, believe that some restaurant portions are too large. It would be better if they moderated their portions and lowered their prices.
Should they put it out for less than what they paid for it?
Many people that COULD garden just can’t be bothered...
Maybe people just like big portions. Just ‘cause you don’t like them, doesn’t mean restaurants need to change.
