Yep yep.
America in a nutshell.

>>3735163
HA!!!
thats not even the half of it

just watch ANY food network channel

"now the judge will taste it!"
(3 bites)

It's leftovers..what do you want us to do? Put it in a doggy bag and ship off to Africa? They'll always find something to complain about.

>2012

Im a pretty chill dude but I absolutely cannot stand seeing someone throw away food. I've ended relationships because of it. I have a rule that if I cook/prepare a dish, no matter what happens I'm eating all of it. Bad tasting food cant kill you, all it can do is teach you a lesson on how to be a better cook.

Come to think of it I cant remember ever putting food into a garbage can.

>>3735308
>cooks bad food
>gets pissed because people don't eat it
>ends relationship because partner doesn't want to get sick
You honestly can't have this big of a stick up your ass....

>>3735308
half of the food produced in the US is thrown out.

>>3735315
Bit more than half, every store has to throw out food that's 5 days before expired (least the food store here does). You should see the line of homeless people dumpster diving to get the massive amount of food. All the while the workers are there laughing at them.

Yeah, you get a lot done when your passtimes aren't raping and killing each other.

>>3735308

>Bad tasting food cant kill you

lol wut

Today my boyfriend made himself dinner and gave me like 10% of the meat he'd made so I could try some. He said he'd eat whatever I didn't want.

I'd made some gyoza, premade frozen kind, to see how they turned out. The answer is bad. So I stood up, walked over to the trash and threw it all in.

"Wait, did you throw away the meat?"
"oh....shit, yea..forgot"
"Did you even try it?"
>mfw

>>3735308

bad taste and smell of food is a natural reason to avoid food going back hundreds of thousands of years. sorry about your autism and poor cooking skills though

it used to really hurt me to throw away food, but you could say i've gotten over it. I've worked in the produce department of a grocery store for two years now, and you couldn't even imagine the quantity of food that we throw away. seriously, it used to kill me on the inside to throw all of this perfectly fine food into the dumpster but my management has hammered down on me for so long that i am numb. if a banana has a single brown spot on it, it is thrown away. if an apple has a single bruise or any tear in its skin, it is thrown away. if a plum is soft we go ahead and throw them away for good measure, they'll be rotting tomorrow.

when i started working grocery i actually had respect for food and would try to front the older produce so that it would sell and not be wasted. now, i've been desensitized to the point that any sort of food is expendable to me. i have destroyed a $1000 dollar pallet of bananas on more than one occasion because they had a few spots on them and it was easier to compost than to send to the food bank.

i used to really care about wasted food, but now i am completely numb. everything is expendable, and for everything you throw away there is a replacement in the truck the next day.

grocery has made me a culinary sociopath.

>>3735205
Not make so much food that you have leftovers?

>>3735354

And you're not allowed to discount it or take it for yourself?

I always felt like so many places waste massive amounts of food.. even if you're not able to take everything to a foodbank, at least ask the shops nearby if they're hungry! smileyfaceon4chan.org

>>3735383
I was definitely not allowed to discount it or take it for myself. I've worked produce at two grocery stores in the last two years. WalMart and Whole Foods. Seemingly opposite from the customer, but so similar from a person who works there. They both throw away an equal amount of trash.

I worked at WalMart first, and there they would order a TON of produce in bulk and throw everything away if it was slightly old. I'm talking about throwing away multiple 6 foot tall pallets of bananas because they have a spot or two.

Whole Foods was a bit different, but they threw away an equal amount of produce. There, it was not about quantity so much as it was about quality. If an apple had a microscopic bruise or cut, it gets thrown away. If an orange is the wrong color, it gets thrown away. If a pear is perfectly fine but it doesn't have the right shape, it is thrown away. If any sort of fruit or vegetable has any sort of blemish, it is thrown away.

>>3735388
Couldn't you collect it from the dumpster after work? or was it taken away by a truck or something.

>>3735398
Some stores (not sure if Walmart or Whole Foods do this) will pour bleach on their food before throwing it out, to prevent homeless and others from taking it.

Not my fault that the african people lived in such abundance that their sociological evolution was never kickstarted by the need for technological advances and therefor when the region was colonized, they lost. And after the colonial powers forced them to enter a civilization much more advanced than the average hunter gatherer tribe lifestyle they were so accustomed to, they turned into alcoholics, murderers, rapists, famine folk and slaves n shit.

>>3735400
WHY.JPG

>>3735400
O.O

>>3735416

Two reasons come to mind for why they would do this.

1) Let's say Store A tosses out their extra food at the end of the day. Lots of perfectly good food. Doesn't take long before there's not enough food in the dumpster for all the homeless/scavengers there to share; they have to fight or come early to try and get first pick. People coming to the store well before closing time see a line of homeless people next to the store or homeless fights (which can be rather brutal). Not exactly the best image for a store.

2) Weaker argument: some stores will throw out all food at the end of the day. Say Store B closes at 10pm. Would a thrifty individual coming home late from work go in and buy the food, or wait a little while and get it for free? In other words, they make their food inedible so you have no choice but to buy it if you want to eat it.

>>3735423
>>3735416
In my experience it's because of liability, they don't want to get sued of someone eats rotten food and gets sick/dead. At least that's the story the management gave me.

>>3735192
keep in mind they already wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars making those shows.

>>3735205
back in the day my mom used to say that.
>dont leave the water running anon!!!
why?
>people other countries dont have running water
ok so does my unused waster get sent to them?

>>3735430
this... only in america could you be able to sue someone after eating their garbage and getting sick. if people get hurt while diving in your dumpster they can also sue.

>>3735430
And it's just a story. Most store managers are far-right assholes who despise the poor. I know some of them add rat poison instead of bleach in the food they throw out hoping to kill a few homeless people. Liability? My ass...

>>3735457
how often do dead people ever sue?

>>3735457
maybe they use rat poison to try and control rat infestations?

i worked at mcdonalds and they would tell us to pour ammonia on the food. but instead i would throw all the food into a new trash bag and tie it up and then put that in another garbage bag and throw that out. then i would go get it at night because i was so fucking poor.

>>3735315
Arguably, all of food produced in the US should be thrown out.

I manage to keep waste to a minimum, even as a loner who cooks his own food around the year. The only things that go out before they're consumed are breads, which frequently catch mold before I get around to freezing them. In the end, thanks to my parent's policy of "you don't get to leave the table before the plate is empty. ALSO HERE HAVE SOME MORE HAHAHA."

Those chucklefucks.

>>3735487
Arguably all food around the world should be thrown out. Because arguably, anything can be argued.

well little african boy, why don't you go ask your parents why they murdered and drove out all the white farmers, if they didn't want to starve?

oh wait, sorry, you don't know who your parents are. my bad.

>>3735487
I think that "eat everything on your plate, there's starving children in $COUNTRY" is a contributing factor to obesity in America.

You should stop eating when full, not continually try and stuff more and more food into you just because you overestimated the portion.

>>3735354
>>3735388
fucking this. I work in the produce section of walmart and SO MUCH shit is wasted. We do donations through "feeding america" but the only thing we're allowed to put in there is expired salads, carrots, and chopped up fruit bowls and stuff.

they won't mark down things like bananas when they start to go bad because it's a hassle for them I guess; customers start to debate which ones should be discounted ect ect.

if you take any of the stuff they're tossing out it's basically the same as stealing to them. I think it's because walmart actually makes money off of the crap they throw out, we supposedly sell the stuff as fertilizers and to pig farms and stuff, so they still end up making a profit in the end.


It's really a shame to see all of that stuff just tossed out.

>>3735383
>Employee gets the go ahead to take something home
>Next day becomes deathly ill from eating whatever
>Get sued into next Tuesday
That's why because all it takes is one of the items being bad and someone eating for them to lose tons of money,

>>3735507
But nobody is going to get sick from eating a slightly bruised banana. Or from eating a pear that is just shaped wrong.
There's tons of foods that are good thrown away and that you can dumpster dive and eat and never have an issue unless faggots pour bleach or ammonia on them.

You'd think humans would be evolved enough to care about feeding people and caring about other humans instead of always tryin to make a buck.

Eh, it's all going to even out into sane terms when we finally run out of gasoline. So enjoy your greaseball burgers and dollar hot dogs while you can.

>>3735521
We'll just move on to hemp oil, I hope.
Hopefully we're smart enough for that, right?

>>3735521
An alternative fuel will surely be figured out by then. I imagine even solar and electrical technology will be looking good.

>>3735517

But they also throw away things like meat that some moron had in their cart, decided they didn't want, and just put on a random shelf rather than back in the refrigerated or frozen section.

And things like broken glass. And vomit. And bloody tampons. Etc.

>>3735524
Your blind faith in progress is almost moving.

>>3735524
Hemp oil is clean burning and at the rate you can grow it, well, anyone can grow their own fuel in their back yard. Oh and you can't get high from it.

>just put on a random shelf rather than back in the refrigerated or frozen section.

I fly into a ballistic rage whenever I see this.

>>3735532
Yes, but it's in a can and you KNOW it's supposed to smell like that. If someone cooks me a dish and it just smells or tastes bad, I'm not going to eat it.

>>3735527
god fucking dammit I hate that shit. People leave hamburger, clothes, beer, all kinds of random shit in our produce dept.

One time someone left a box of condoms and lube next to the cucumbers.


it was probably a joke.

>>3735529
... you're a stoner, right?

Because no-one could possibly believe such a thing without being high. You fucking dweeb. Do you know how much hemp it takes to produce sufficient quantities of oil to keep even the basics of industrial transportation needs running in the US alone, and how much otherwise occupied farmland that's going to require? Let alone get to the level where fat fucks can cruise 25 miles for a sleazeballburger again?

I hope you fall asleep with a lit joint in your mouth, accidentially set your bed on fire and become a skinless deaf-blind mummy for the next 50 years.

>>3735542
But this stimulates the economy. Without people doing that you wouldn't need to employ people to go around and fix stuff, put it back or remove it for throwing away.

>>3735538

>>3735544
eh, I suppose. I can see how that works for grocery, but in produce almost all we do is stock, stock,stock. zoning/straightening is just an annoying after thought for us in my department.

>>3735543

I lol'd because I agree

fuck stoners.

>>3735543
Hemp grows fast, it's a dense growing plant and it can grow pretty much anywhere. And it's not only useful for fuel, but for thousands of other things, too.

If we can allocate acres for tree farms then we can surely use those tree farms for hemp oil and paper.

http://fuelandfiber.com/Hemp4NRG/Hemp4NRGRV3.htm

not very much at all, apparently.

I like to eat until I'm full and save the rest as leftovers. If the food is just uneatable, see if you can use it for compost.

>>3735543
Wow, so he's wrong about hemp oil and you wish he would die? I hope your seething hatred doesn't give you an early stroke or heart attack.

>>3735552

except we're not using tree farms for fuel, you fool

>>3735557

better smoke more weed then right? rastamon!

>>3735558
Um, well see is we used them for hemp plants then we wouldn't need the trees for paper because hemp makes better paper products than trees do.

how does it feel to know you're perpetuating a stereotype created by rich business men who were racist and wanted to get richer?

I used to work in an organic grocery store, my boss made me cut mould out of food, like if a pumpkin had a few mould spots I'd cut it up and wrap it in cling wrap and make it look good as new. We used to get the wrinkled up old apples and put them in bags labled juice apple,
my boss was south african.....
like another anon said though I threw out shit loads of food.
I still work in the same industry but just a little higher up the ranks so I probably don't see how much waste there is these days.

>>3735561

show me a good quality writing pad made from hemp paper and I'll eat my hat. it simply doesn't exist. feathering, snagging, and bleed-through up the ass.

maybe it makes good toilet paper, I dunno. but in that case you could just put a rinse bowl and a bucket of water and wash your ass crack like they do in some countries.

>>3735558

Uhm. Ever heard of palm oil?

>>3735561
Kenaf is better for paper than even hemp. Though I don't know if it has as many uses as hemp.

I've tried enough hemp garbage that I'm not going to order shit unless I find a pad at my local shop and can feel its surface before buying. hemp paper can eat my dick

even a lot of wood pulp pads are piss poor, I seriously doubt some stoner pads made from second-rate fibers are going to come close to a world class product like rhodia or clairefontaine

>>3735576

>implying weed and hemp are the same thing

Showing just how uneducated on the subject you really are.

Also the hemp plant is good for thousands of things.

And I'm calling him a troll because it's obvious he is, either that or he's some sort of weird paper guy who has to have some exotic paper to feel superior to everyone else.
Hemp paper is perfectly fine. Doesn't yellow, doesn't need bleaching, hemp grows incredibly fast just about anywhere on the planet, and you get a huge yield in a small area over a little time.

>>3735585

it was a rhetorical demand. this guy doesn't even know what "feathering" means, how is he going to tell me what good paper is? he thinks a brand of paper is good if he saw an ad for it in high times.

>>3735588

as I suggested before, I'm sure it's fine for toilet paper and newsprint. for writing pads, I'll stick to god tier wood pulp, thanks.

>>3735589
http://naihc.org/hemp_information/hemp_facts.html


I don't subscribe to high times.

I'm simply educated on the subject and I don't say NAW MAN WE SHOULDNT USE THAT CUZ IT DOESNT MEET MY SPECIAL NEEDS FOR PAPER

Seriously? You're saying we shouldn't use this plant for anything simply because it doesn't meet your need for paper? Guess what buddy, you'd still be able to buy your special "feathered" paper whatever the fuck that means.

>>3735592
Okay buddy, if you think so.

>>3735593
> You're saying we shouldn't use this plant for anything

where did I ever say that? are you having some short term memory problems?

>>3735596
Oh my bad, yah you never did say that. Sorry. I got upset and reacted.
But my point still stands, hemp does make good paper.

>>3735588

I'm all for using hemp in many ways, and the dude you're arguing with is an idiot (or more likely just trolling).

However... hemp is hemp is hemp. Same plant, just different breeds... Some are bred to produce high levels cannabinoids and flower mass, while others are bred to produce a lot of seeds or fiber.

>>3735601
Exactly. I never said it wasn't Cannabis, just that it's not weed.

If someone has a cite for someone successfully suing a company because they became sick from food they ate out of the company's dumpster, please provide it.

Sounds apocryphal to me.

The reason companies destroy unsold food is to prevent employees from trying to undersell the food so as to be able to take it home.

>>3735517
>You'd think humans would be evolved enough to care about feeding people and caring about other humans instead of always tryin to make a buck.

What world do you live in?

>>3735617
It's the USA. People can sue for anything, the catch is you have to get a lawyer to represent you or represent yourself and also is it worth winning.

but in the USA it doesn't have to make sense for you to win.

What about the guy who broke into a house and hurt himself on something, iirc he tripped and fell, and then sued the owners and won.

Doesn't make to make sense... the legal system is a game to be played and won, that's how amerians see it.

>>3735617
Also doesn't have to have to have happened before for it to happen someday in the future. It's probably a precaution to WHAT IF someone gets hurt and sues.

>>3735542
>One time someone left a box of condoms and lube next to the cucumbers.

That's pretty funnier. What would have been even funnier is if the chickenshit had actually gone through the checkout with only those 3 items.

>>3735622

You really think someone could win a lawsuit for becoming ill by eating someone's garbage?

As far as I'm aware, no jurisdiction has a law requiring parties to make their garbage safe for human consumption.

And even if they did, it would seem that pouring bleach or ammonia on the garbage would be a direct violation of that law.

http://www.usda.gov/news/pubs/gleaning/appc.htm

>>3735620

"tort reform" is a talking point pushed by big business and their bought politicians, in order to evade responsibility for irresponsible acts.

the cherry picked examples of "out of control lawsuit culture" are mostly exaggerated and misrepresented by highly paid PR teams.

>>3735620

But you also face the risk of losing the lawsuit and being countersued by the defendant for legal costs and other damages. It's not a no-risk game.

>>3735629
Ah, yes I did forget to include that, never said it was a no risk game, but it certainly is a game to a lot of Americans.
Oh you "tripped and fell" on a cord and "hurt yourself" well then it's just a lawsuit away from millions of dollars!

>>3735631

I suspect that far fewer Americans are getting rich that way than you imagine.

>>3735634
Doesn't mean they won't try if the opportunity arises.

>>3735639

If you think it's so easy, go "slip" at a local store, sue them, and see how far you get.

>>3735645
Didn't say it had to be at a store. All one needs to do is slip and fall on a piece of chalk some kid leaves on the sidewalk in front of their house.
Bam, moneys! especially if you're walking with friends and they laugh at you. public embarrassment, friends laugh at you everywhere you go about how you slipped on some chalk... jokes all the time... you need to move to a new city... :[ it's so sad.

>>3735630

Hardly. There are 15 million lawsuits filed in the United States every year. Check out the numbers on lawsuits over OB/GYNs. If you deliver babies, you WILL get sued. 1 in 4 OB/GYNs have been sued. And the lawsuits that GO TO TRIAL have a success rate of about 25%....not counting the ones that get dismissed before trial. Some areas malpractice insurance runs ridiculously high (51K per year in Long Island, for example) 16% of obstetricians have stopped delivering babies altogether because of frivolous lawsuits. The average cost of defending a frivolous lawsuit in that field is currently $19,500. But lawsuits are filled over the tiniest things all the time because million dollar payouts are common, and lawyers get upto a third for their fees, so they dont care about any actual merits, they go after the cash cow, obstetrics. And that isnt the only place it happens, just the place I happen to know the most about.

>>3735653

Dittohead detected.

>>3735664
Try the child of an obstetrician.

>>3735669

Why doesn't that obstetrician have adequate malpractice insurance?

Americans are required to have insurance if they want health care, after all.

Haha, all of you complaining about the produce has never seen 3lbs of perfectly fine meats tossed because the customer changed their mind. Or the 12 chickens we throw out because they overestimated how many we'd need.
And then we STILL have the problem of rotten chicken parts often being in the freezer.
I almost vomited when one of the older workers wanted me to still use the meat even though you could smell it 20ft away. "Just wash it off" "It still stinks" "Just use it!"
I just tossed it.

A world full of people who only care about themselves and they only care about others when it'll benefit themselves and make them look good.
I'm quite sure that's the reason aliens haven't visited us. They're like, "nah, they're not evolved enough for us to visit them". Because they're smart and know what would happen.

We think we're so evolved and advanced, but we're not. We're all fucking retarded, including myself.

Is that fucking hippie sleazeball still talking out of his ass about hemp saving the world? I can't tell because I am overtaken by seething rage every time I see naive and unbased optimism.

Just in case he is, though - cut your hair and join the corps, you phleghmatic little queer. You'll do the country more good as a uniformed welfare queen than you'll ever do with your idiotic and destructive semi-religious propaganda about an useless, dope-head aggrandized itchy piece of shit plant.

Leftovers do not go in the trash in my house. I don't cook huge amounts at a time, so it's easy to manage. I can finish whats left in the next 3 days or left.

Many people are wasteful, but I am not.

>>3736250

I meant 3 days or LESS.

>>3736254
Same way here. Any lessovers, I can usually finish in 3 days (or left).

Im in college. I feel your plight my african brotha

I always use my leftovers. I either incorporate in a meal or use the rest for tomorrow's lunch.

I very, very rarely throw out leftovers. I make that shit count. The only times I throw out leftovers is if it's something that just won't keep at all (i.e. consistency changes, texture dissolves, etc.) Otherwise, I'm going to find a way to use that stuff. I hate waste.

>>3736276

>>3735500
>if you take any of the stuff they're tossing out it's basically the same as stealing to them. I think it's because walmart actually makes money off of the crap they throw out, we supposedly sell the stuff as fertilizers and to pig farms and stuff, so they still end up making a profit in the end.

They likely consider it stealing because their employees steal a ton. They usually have security in their stores keeping an eye on employees rather than customers.

If they didn't go after people collecting food thrown out then you'd have employees tossing food that they'd later go to collect.

>>3735388
>I worked at WalMart first, and there they would order a TON of produce in bulk and throw everything away if it was slightly old. I'm talking about throwing away multiple 6 foot tall pallets of bananas because they have a spot or two.

All fruits and vegetables breathe and they breathe out ethylene gas. When the bananas are sold they're often fairly close together which means that ethylene gas is going to build up faster, and when fruits are around ethylene gas they ripen faster.

So a crate full of bananas that have some signs of already turning brown means that by the time it's taken out and put on display you'd have a pile of rotted bananas that no one would want to buy.

Really if you're handling the ordering of produce in a grocery store or restaurant it would be important to check for spots and turn the food down if someone is trying to sell it to you.

I give my leftovers to bums if I feel generous. If they are black or annoying,no leftovers for you, rather trash the food.
Oh and the US gives more food aid to other countries than anyone else in the world.

One famous story is the coffee story from McDonald's with the woman that stopped in for coffee at a drive through with her son driving and then when the flimsy cup spilled open the searing hot coffee left her with severe burns through her skin so she couldn't use her hands for months. Fast food places routinely made their coffee that hot because of the idea that you'd want to pick up the coffee and have it still be hot by the time you drive it to an office 30-60 minutes later, so it would really be too hot for human consumption.

It really is incredibly difficult to win some lawsuit even when it's perfectly reasonable because people can easily go "lol it's just some spilled coffee" or "lol it's just some doctors' tool stuck inside you".

>>3735673
>Americans are required to have insurance if they want health care, after all

Yeah but if they fuck up practicing medicine and end up needing to use the insurance their premiums could go up. And no doctor likes to be punished for negligence.

>>3736836
I worked produce as well and threw away a sinful amount of food. We weren't allowed to discount it, take it ourselves, give it away, or even donate to a food bank. Everything went straight to the compost. I never stole the food, but I have had it stolen from me.

I worked at a WalMart in the heart of the ghetto. One day I was outside throwing bins of produce away and this van rolled up beside me. The side door rolled open and three black as night cracked out niggers jumped out and surrounded me.
>"say boy, I can have them tomatoes?"
>sorry sir, I have to throw them away. I'll lose my job if i give them to you
>"howbout jus one case, ain't nobody lookin"
>No. I'm really sorry sir.
at this point one of the niggers pulls a gun on me and the other two went crazy with my carts of produce. they didn't only take the tomatoes, they took EVERYTHING i had on my cart, including the reusable crates. two tall stacks of produce disappeared in a matter of about 20 seconds.

Reminds me of cooking school. In my purveying class I once had to fullfill a order of carrots. they are all rotten. so I ask the professor If I can open a new case.

But the professor doesn't believe me because everyone else had been fulfilling their orders of carrots all day. So he takes me back to the carrots, takes one look, then opens a new case, throws the open one out, and yells at the rest of the class to redo all carrot orders for the day.

>>3736871

I went to mcdonalds for breakfast the other day, they have these redesigned enviro-friendly cups that leak all over the place.

anyway I spilled some on my hand and I almost dropped the cup on the floor from pain. fingers were still pink the next day.

there's no good reason to serve coffee that hot, it's absolutely ridiculous. that was only an ounce or so on my fingers, I can only imagine an entire 12 oz cup spilled on some old lady's vagina.

And that coffee legally could not be as hot as it used to be made because of the lawsuit. The lawsuit's coffee honestly burned through her skin, it wasn't just making her hands a bit sore boo hoo.

>>3735523
wrong.

>>3736948

entirely incorrect, they still serve it at the same temperature, they just print a warning on it so they can say "durr coffee is hot". yeah no shit coffee is hot, I drink it every day. mcdonalds is the only place from the dozen odd places within a block of my office where I am honestly concerned about being physically injured by it.

anyone who laughs at that lawsuit has no idea what they're talking about.

15gal/acre means i could grow 10 or 12 acres and have more propulsion than I know what to do with.

ultimately, it's going to be a combination of using effective alternative energy and a lifestyle change where FUCKING EVERYTHING isn't oil based.

stoners...

>>3735565
haha owned

>>3736966
no.

>>3736963
15gallons per acre per ???

day week month year decade?

>>3737026
obviously per crop rotation dumbass, which is dependent on climate and agricultural methods

>>3737056
Oh well there's your problem. Americans don't rotate crops, it's not as profitable.

>>3737067
lol. but yea, i meant per crop. i was going to say 4 crops/year, but i think i was confusing an article i read which said 4x more fiber per acre than current paper pulp trees.

and damn, there are some butthurting dupont execs in this thread.

ITT we realize that bulk food waste is a consequence of bulk food production

>>3737067
okay, than per harvest

and crop rotation is profitable under "normal economic conditions", it's just the American corporate agriculture system doesn't allow it to be as feasible

Some quick googling tells me 12-14 weeks per hemp crops. lets assume for simple math that it can grow year round. That is 4 crops per year.

so 60 gallons per acre per year

the epa says there is just under a billion acres of farm land

so total farmland could produce 60 billion gallons of hemp oil in a year

the usa uses 120 billion gallons of gasoline


Its impossible

Put it in the fridge and eat it for lunch the next day? There's a reason god gave us tupperware.

>>3737101
like i said before, we're going to have to meet in the middle (or a little past the middle).

>>3737104
I like the cut of your jib.

I support meals on wheels

>>3737101
you're right, we shouldn't think about diversifying our energy sources... we should stick with oil, wars, and the diminishing accessible supplies

>hurrrr oil is the only way

>>3737104
>god gave us tupperware.

So god lives in china?

>too embarrassed to visit a food pantry/soup kitchen/whatever
>not qualified to get food stamps because jobless college student
>cancel meal plan because costs too much
Hunger pangs general.

>>3737198

>>3737198

>>3737202
I eat mostly beans and rice.

>>3737210
Well, I'm fairly hungry, but I've grown somewhat accustomed to it over the years.

>get a fucking job too bro
I should be sending out a batch of resumes & applications very soon.

>>3737198
fellow broke college anon. I wish there was a soup kitchen in my town.

>>3737364
There is no soup kitchen near me either. But if you stand with a sign next to the mcdonalds, many people will buy you a mcchicken.

I usually go with "not homeless, but broke and hungry"

and when someone pauses to read the sign, I ask then to buy me a dollar menu item.

>>3737513
really got to swallow your pride for that huh

>>3737673
