GIVE THIS THANKSGIVING

A farming couple after harvest this past week decided to give away their left overs instead of making it waste (rot in the fields) so they put up a sign saying they were giving away the food. They expected a few hundred people to come instead 40 thousand people came .....Scooping up the onions potatoes etc. putting them in bags provided by the farmers and giving thanks that Thanksgiving was going to be good this year.
Why can`t we do more of that ? In my industry they throw away left over food.Why? I keep asking, why not give it to children's homes and infirmaries. They say no it has to be thrown away. I`m sorry, IT DOES NOT!
I have heard all the reasons why a whole tray of stamp and go has to be thrown away, because guests MAY HAVE not just used the tongs to pick one up, they might have used their hands. Can i tell u something, if i am hungry i couldn`t care less about that and judging from how many people eating out of garbage containers, lots of people wouldn`t mind either.
The waste just needs to stop. People are starving, people are finding it hard to even find bus fare or feed their children come on.......In America they are trampling people to death to get to a sale....I gather they didn`t even realize they were trampling the person. People are going out of their minds ......I went to calm a fight last Saturday only to find out that the young man was fighting with himself. Why? He can`t afford to send his child to school, no raise of pay in four years when cost of living has gone up how much in four years ? He was already earning minimum wage......Now its less than minimum.
Those of us that can make ends meet and those of us that have excess had better realize that if we don`t start giving and stop this excess spending like the banker that bought a JA$19million Q7 Audi ......No grill in the world will keep us safe. And, as the man said when they bulldozed his house the day before a hurricane was scheduled to hit (he had built it on captured lands) "CRIME STOP? CRIME CAN`T STOP WHEN MY CHILDREN WATCH THIS ?"
