I remember when I was in high-school and worked at taco bell. We used to waste so much food including the customers. We in no doubt wasted food to feed tens of thousands each month. Then we had the customers that came to lie about replacement orders just to feed their family. The thing that pissed me off most was seeing overweight families visit including their little children which some weren't even old enough to tie their own shoes.

@boygoose89 can you bring any of it home? Maybe the management cold get a soup kitchen to get it.

I work at a country club as a server. It's sad to see how much food the wealthy members waste. I see a lot of their kids take one bite of their meal and then it's trash. After the shift, the kitchen trash's all the food from the buffet such as steak, shrimp, chicken, mash potatoes, rice, ect. When I see a meat thrown away to the garbage, I see it as one animal being killed for no purpose ):

@lgarvey1979 most of them are circumcised. it's fairly obvious what I am saying: muslims, jews, americans, south koreans, filipinos, all circumcisers are causing problems and violence in the world. Muslims are victims of american and jewish homosexuality. if their penis did not appear erect all the time there would be no way they could be attacked.

wasting food makes farmers money

govt subsidies

[lgarvey1979]

@gingowitch I'm confused - are you saying all American's are circumcised? Or are you referring to the Jewish community? There are millions of uncircumcised Americans. Then again, most Muslim men are circumcised.

To be honest, I have no idea what you are talking about.

@lgarvey1979 if only you had the talent, but you like @thealexjoneschannel and @russiatoday like to live in a dream land where you waste your time reading articles other people wrote, trying to decipher things like a puzzle, when the answer is written onthe human body: all the people causing violence in the world are circumcised. Is that to simple for you? Would you like it to be more complex so you can determine not to do anything?
