FYI: This event was a COMMUNITY FUNDRAISER for 2 organizations: Marine Corporal Todd NIcely who lost both his arms and legs in Afghanistan AND the Lift for Life Gym which is a community non-profit that provides alternatives to inner city children to keep them off the streets and out of gangs! They are both very important causes causes.

Also, throughout the day, the Tomato Festival had other activities such as tomato art, BLT eating contest between Fire & Police and other activities for kids.

But this is not 1 big BLT, this is like 100 BLT's put next to eachother.

Meanwhile, somewhere on this world, over 10 million children are dying from hunger.

I'm Hungry. It sucks that I am 973 miles from Iron Barley

Damn I love BLT's. Don't talk shit fools I live down the street in Dutchtown.

IDK what's more annoying. Making a pointless sandwich? Or posting comments about dying children in Somalia. It's not like you posters are dedicating any time, money, or food to these people. So get off your high horse.

Hope you're proud fat Americans...people on the other side of the world falling down and dying from ZERO food and water.

What or who the Hell is EPIC MEALTIME ?????!?!?!?

[TheRubiasca]

@Nanaijo3 EXACTLY!!!! Should have sent the money they spent for all the food to Somalia or somewhere. Some people are just too ignorant to dedicate their time to something actually usefull..I know this was a community fundraiser, but i still disagree with the way they did it.

I like a good BLT, but seeing all that stuff together made me kinda sick

[wonedad23]

this is the worst thing i've ever seen and God knows, I've seen some bad things.

[temporalrant]

World's Biggest MINDLESS FUCKING WASTE.

And to add insult to injury, they top this bullshit off with THROWING FOOD AT EACH OTHER. And don't give me some boo-hoo sob-story of who this allegedly this was for, since I could name you 1 million OTHER less BRAIN-DEAD ways of helping.

But no, they have to stuff their faces with BACON AND 60 GALLONS OF MAYO and BUTTER... just like every day, as you can see.

ONLY IN AMERICA.

@aguiltycubicle agreed, it needs to be 1 piece of bread. otherwise whats the point.
