Oh, a beautifully packaged doggie bag - and thing of beauty at the breakfast table.
Thanks Dale - I always get a kick out of your unvarnished candor!
Another chinless wonder!
(I did love the photo of the hamburger & steak fries on his blog, though.)
How do they arrive at these statistics? How do “they” know how much food I throw out?
I work at a nursing home and we throw out a LOT of food. Old people usually don’t eat much. Do they know how much is throw away from institutions? How do they know? Inquiring minds want to know.
Wow! The hyperbole in this article is ... earth-shattering! California experiences a drought and suddenly half of the Western US is a devastated wasteland! Throw away a chicken wing and you’re about to bring down Armageddon! And you, you fat pig: do you know how much your gluttony is costing us???
That does it. Nothing but tofu and rice cakes every other day for me.
Eat your broccoli. Kids are starving in New Jersey.
We do, too. It’s the only way to afford beef these days.
Must be all those healthy meals served in our schools.
This is a pretext for the government to control the food supply.
If schools knew how to properly prepare food, they wouldn’t waste it. How is it they hire the worst cooks? My kids absolutely detest the food at school. We’re packing lunches more often.
Hard to teach them not to be wasteful, or ill-mannered with the Lil’ Darlings running through every restaurant screeching like wild birds.
You found the key to the problem.
“The legal system takes much of the blame.”
Someone said chinless dweeb - that’s about right.
None of us should accept this idiot’s premise - or any of the left’s premises.
Not feeding the homeless does not show greed.
You don’t work - you don’t eat. THAT was pronounced by God.
Feeding them ENABLES them.
Where’s that National Park sign that sez ‘Don’t feed the wild animals’?
The left is populated by slack-jawed yokels.
Read the other day that the corn lobby exported 50 BILLION gallons of corn produced ethanol to Brazil last year. That’s a whole lot of cornbread pissed away.
The WHY question caught me by surprise. It seems the Brazil Gubmit E-100 “Green” program has burned out their prime sugarcane growing soil. Another great Socialist plan!
Me, there is very little that goes into the trash. I try to use every scrap of leftovers. I can't afford not to. If it's not reinvented for the next meal, it's frozen or the dogs get a treat. Jars and pans are scraped to get every bit possible out. Bones are cooked down for stock. The juice from canned veg is frozen for stock. Juice from canned fruit is homecanned into jelly and syrup. Pickle juice is used for roasts or drain cleaner. Convenience foods like cereal or tv dinners? Not in this house so there isn't much for the trashman to pick up. The VERY rare fast food bag is gone through and the salt and ketchup is saved. Egg shells, coffee grounds, etc. go to the garden. Yes, there's a garden and believe me it's too hard working it to waste anything. Aside from grass, 99% trees and plants are edibles in this yard.
Ok, I will admit I could lose weight.
School waste is the worst. My spec ed (aka life skills) class would finish their free breakfast after everyone else had left the cafeteria and we’d save the unopened milk and juice cartons. It would save on our cooking budget and they could have something to drink while eating whatever they’d baked that week. There was usually enough for everyone to have a drink at the end of the day, too.
I know someone who orders pepperoni pizza but picks off the meat because she claims she’s vegetarian. Excuse me, but the pig didn’t die to be thrown in the garbage. It’s not like she’s going to glue all the pieces together and bring the pig back to life. And let’s not forget that meat juice dripped down onto that not so vegetarian pizza.
Yes. Tons of burgers go into the garbage because McDonald’s is afraid of law suits if someone gets sick. A better practice would be to to have the cashier only work the cashier and fire any burger flipper who scratches his butt. And not allow any employee to have fake nails and bling on while serving and preparing food.
Chop meat is over $4.50 a POUND. Crazy.
Yesterday I happened to find a year-old circular in the paper bin. I’m going to take it to the store and do some comparison shopping.
Yes, you’re mean and so is everyone else who gves them money to spend on tats, piercings and drugs. If no one gave them a dime, they’d have to get a job, pay their taxes and not be a burden on society.
