Event 24th annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive comes to your mailbox this Saturday

It's a great cause...I've volunteered for gleaners for years here and always fill the food donation bags when I see them. We grow a huge garden so in season I've always kept my coworkers in fresh veggies. Keep up the good work guys!

 

Everytime I do it I feel like a socialist....part of the great volunteer army that passes out free stuff!
Except for Halloween, then I turn into Scrooge McDuck and eat all the treats

 

Sly, you convinced me to give something. I had thrown out the plastic bag when it came in the mailbox Thursday. I'll get it and find something to give. (Not hemp hearts, I was joking.)

You worked me like Paul McCartney. I always knew I should go vegetarian, but I was too lazy, and ate meat once or twice a week. About a year and a half ago, an ad popped up with Paul showing the usual videos of cruel slaughterhouses. But this time, it was Paul speaking. It got to me and I cut out the meat.

 

So you're finally getting rid of the spam? Hormel sausages too?

 

Beer cans don't count!

 

Too lazy to make them, but if you're offering, I'll take it. I'm a practical, not religious, vegetarian. I eat cottage cheese and Christmas eggnog. A vegan inspects food ingredients to make sure that no animal products like animal oils are included in anything. Maybe I'll graduate up the levels over the years, but right now I'm just a practical vegetarian, at the easiest level.

4 reasons: Killing/cruelty, cost of meat, cooking time/laziness, heart health.

 

Do you pour the eggnog over the cottage cheese or drop the cheese in the nog?

 

Melt the cheddar cheese onto the scrambled eggs and wash it down with spiked eggnog. Then start making lunch.

 

Ground veal.

 

I'm a real with-it guy, so I was listening to this song while you guys were talking. This group's sound reminds me of Prunethang's Inkspots or whatever his group is named. Here goes my first Vimeo post...

 

The grocery stores in my community have been extremely generous on pretty much a weekly basis. Freddy's is amazing in terms of what it donates in terms of quantity and quality. Albertsons provides full meals (Turkeys with all the fixings) every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas (and helps in other ways). Thriftway and Target are also very generous. Maybe it's just a regional thing but they are a big part of what we do and deserve our thanks. That said, yes, there should be laws that require the food be donated rather than thrown out. There's still far too much food being wasted while people go hungry.

And for anyone with overflowing vegetable gardens this summer, your local food banks would absolutely love to have the stuff you aren't able to use. Or at least mine certainly is. You'll probably have to deliver it to them (though some will be more than happy to pick it up if you are unable to deliver it). After a long winter of canned veggies, I cannot even begin to describe how enthused and grateful the clients are when fresh produce is available....

 

Bag is full and out by the box thank yo very much!!!
