Which is more evil, meat, soy, gluten, or southpaws?

Wasting through the supply chain might be more of a problem in regard to food safety than an eventual competition with energy crops and other industrial commodities. But anyway, I presume that dumpster where you get your veggies might be cleaner than a regular dumpster.

Yep, they're small green bins with lids, which have a fresh bag in them every time they're used. Each bin has its own vegetable, they're not all together in a heap.

When I was in Scouts, someone tricked me into eating a cauliflower burrito, I got sick, and Mom decided I was allergic to cauliflower. Years later I very cautiously had some and did not experience anything worse than disliking cauliflower.

I once read some blog post where a lady said she went from one grocery store to another looking for food for her goat.

Then she fed the free fruits and vegetables to her kid.

I have since wanted to contact produce departments about collecting fruits and vegetables for Mom's compost heap, but it still has not made it to my to-do list.

My mother had a recipe for canned tomatoes that had you putting dried bread heels in the jar. I suspect to was to absorb excess moisture, but that's the way we ate tomatoes all winter.

It got so that I couldn't stomach tomatoes except in catsup. It was decades before I found out that tomatoes don't have to taste like soggy bread.

Each bin has its own vegetable, they're not all together in a heap.

Each rutabaga lovingly interred.

Mom used to tell me that if you did not leave the heels with the loaf, the outside slices turned into heels.

I never figured out whatever in the multiverse that was supposed to mean.

Bread heels? A West Coast term? I've never heard them called that!

[Ecky]

That's what we called them in Florida.

[Xist]

Gasoline Fumes, what do you call bread butts?

[freebeard]

I used the term as an attempt at clarity. We called them 'crusts'.
