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
