Howdy.
Hey Muddy. Do you still do that thing with the fruit misspelling? I was at Trader Joe's last week picking up some vegetables and that conversation came into my head. I bought some yunni (carrots) and walihoos (broccoli).
My problem is I am too mindful of waste. That is my problem.
I was just buying cheez at the store and they had 500 gram hunks on sale for 5 bucks. In comparison, 200 gram hunks are 4 bucks. The 500 gram hunk is obviously way better value.
But the thing is, I can't usually eat 500 grams of cheez before it starts going moldy. In fact I just threw away the butt of my previous 500 gram hunk when I got this new hunk home. I would guess it was only like 38 grams or something that I threw away - so it is still way better value on the big hunk even throwing that away - but my mindfulness of waste weighs on my mind.
Just throwing away food seems wrong. I wish I could get it to some starving kids in Africa. I bet they wouldn't mind a little bit of mold on the edge of their cheez. Then again if I am going to give food to starving Africans, I should just give them some nice new food. We have so much here - they have so little. The truth is, I never give anything to starving Africans.
My mom says black people live in Africa.
