Reese's

Featured: Reese's cup.

The big deal today was this Reese's cup. I sent the photo off to a few friends for approval. Feedback included the typical comments like, "I didn't know people could eat one and throw the other away" and another friend scorned me for feeding her loss of faith for humanity.

Shared some homemade waste-stream carrot kake with Kelsi. Since she was a Phob about having a photo, in spite I added a snap of her and her creation before spring break. I think we called it the trash/dumpster/waste bunny, or something like that. There is no urban legend (YET) about an underground bunny feeding starving people (those who will die today because of extreme hunger) from the waste of others (who have so much food they actually dispose of it rather use it for human nutrition).

Score: FRUIT, Whole bagel, spice cake muffin, energy bar, m&m cookie.

Score: Pizza, Doritos, Pretzels, turkey bagel, and partial chicken breast. (the chicken is pink because during it's sandwich phase, it was water logged with pink lemon aid. I just emoved the soggy bread.)

gosh, i'm still thinking about someone purchasing a Reese's cup package (two cups) for 75 cents. Then making the decision to throw one away. I know my logic is messed up, there must be some off the wall reason.

Some time ago before MS3 when I was on my rice diet (3 weeks, cooking 1 cup of dry rice per day [4 servings in a cup] 600 Calories per day, 12 grams of protein per day) one day of food was worth 33 cents. So I'm looking hard at that Reese's cup, KNOWING that i could have used the cost of what had been thrown away to feed someone 4 servings of rice. Kids Die. kids are dying from hunger and i have a feeling that 1 cup of rice could keep a kid alive for ONE MORE DAY.
