A Letter to YogaGirl Regarding Thanksgiving.....

November 24, 2010......

Dear YogaGirl*,

Why do you torture me with articles about people attending a Thanksgiving dinner Freegan Style?

I get it. I get that we waste a lot and should recycle, but I will never prepare a meal or attend a meal that has been taken from a dumpster. I've heard of the Five Second Rule, (this is when you drop food on the floor, or, I've heard this rule extends to your personal trash and the food is viable) but the Five Second Rule is not for me.

I realize I put you in charge of bringing the pies and the French Canadian stuffing. However, I'm not frightened because I know you've been working obscene hours for your company. I hope the hours let up for you after Thanksgiving, but for now, I'm happy knowing you're too busy to dumpster dive and you're not bringing Freegan take-out.

See you Thursday with fresh food.

Love,

LMB

Dear LMB,

You are very lucky that I have been slaving away and have had no time to dumpster dive because I support the green movement. The Freegans are your friends, truly.

Looking forward to a non-Freegan holiday feast.

Love,
YogaGirl

Um. Eewww. I'm all for recycling but not dumpster food. That's putting one foot over the crazy line. Step back Yoga Girl, step back! Listen to your sister!

Happy Thanksgiving LMB (and Yoga Girl)!

OMG what a mental image that gives you! I could never eat something removed from a dumpster because the smell turns my stomach at 50 yards...and anything that's been in one will always carry the odor. I'll just do my part by trying to throw less food away and eat our leftovers. LOL.
