i eat out of the garbage
Yesterday i peeled an apple for my daughters and put the peel on the table. I went to the cabinet to get some peanut butter to dip the peel in. When i returned to the table i was devastated to find that my mom ( yes im 23 w kids and i live w my mom) had thrown it away in the garbage. I opened the lid of the garbage and found that the peel was sitting on a seemingly fresh bed of cucumber peels. I noted the apple peels' clean appearance and figured that the cucumber had shielded it from contaminants. so i took out the peel and was about to eat it when my mom started yelling abt how i was a bad influence and even wrestled me to take away the peel and dispose of in the garbage disposer. I think she overeacted. If anything i think im a good influece bc im teaching my kids not to give a f**k abt social norms and make their own judgements according to the specific details in a situation. layer of cucumber = apple did not touch garbage :. eat
we lived outside last summer cuz we were so poor, we used to raid the cumberland farms dumpster for the sealed frozen sandwiches they'd toss out a big bag of on a certain day. so long as it's clean why waste it? i'm sure the apple peels r no biggie! there's enuf waste in the world as it is- when i worked in the deli @ hannaford we threw out 2 shoppingcarts of perfectly good food every day, but we had to take it out of the pkgs. and mash it all up and pour cleaning chemicals in it first "TO PREVENT DUMPSTER PICKING AND EMPLOYEE THEFT"
I quit.
