Easter

Featured: Easter

All I really did today was eat the food saved from yesterday out of the waste stream instead of looking very hard for thrown out eater leftovers. And it turns out, thanks to an anonymous posted comment on yesterday's blog, that the strange jelly filled log is really a ... "Your "strange jelly bread log" is a poppy seed roll :)."

Speaking with a friend recently about the perception of waste. Conversation began with the comparison of an acquaintance who has to be very picky about what they consume because the person is tracking the intake of protein, carbs, sugars ect. The comparison was how that situation was just about completely opposite of my experiment. When I'm hungry, I need food. While I'm not begging, the saying is applicable ... "beggars can't be choosers." If I don't eat what I find in the waste-stream, then I don't eat.

In the past, before committing to a waste-stream diet, I've considered the options of choosing to be a veggie or Vegan at the same time as waste-stream. This topic was touched on with a friend, and i couldn't help but think was Steven Stoll asked about supporting the area I want to see grow. Quite a few things came to mind applying that concept to waste-stream living. For different people it would fall on the purpose of not eating animal products. Eating egg salad from the trash isn't supporting the egg industry, but it is still consuming an animal product. Different with everybody. In a main-stream diet (purchasing food), I stopped buying or consuming ranch dressing because of the poultry and dairy products with the intent of not supporting the production of an unhealthy, unfair, unjust, unsustainable industry. But I would support ranch dressing made from someone I knew using moral and positive practices.

Found a lemon almond chicken salad wrap, some pepperoni rolls, and a burger. Saved the wrap for another day.
