Don’t throw away leftovers, warn ‘food police’

One hardened criminal speaking to another:

“What are you in for?”

“Not eating all my vegetables.”

“Don’t you know there are people STARVING in China!”

In a logical sense there is no ‘waste’. A person may choose to not eat all their vegetables and discard the rest into the trashcan. He does so because he feels discarding the vegetables is a better use than: shipping them to China, eating them, throwing them in a compost, turning them into biofuel and using the biofuel to power your converted Obama campaign wagon. The word ‘waste’ is therefore a judgment of misuse by an outside party.

Like smoking and so many other ‘hot topics’, this issue is extremely simple. One party is attempting to impose it’s will onto another’s property because they don’t like what they are doing with it.
