I think Pufer's got a point. I remember reading somewhere that America throws away enough food to end world hunger, but I can't remember what from. We should at least do something.
To be fair, most nations throw away a lot more food than the world would need to end world hunger, it just never got to see somebody's plate before being discarded. The problem is, in so many places food rots in the fields, or gets ruined on the way to market. Most third world countries actually do produce enough food for their people, but they lack the technology and infrastructure to store it and ship it properly. Pretty much the same thing as sending them our leftovers via first class mail, really.

I had a most epic dream the other night.
It started out with my friends and I on top of a smallish skyscraper somewhere in Chicago. We were in the middle of battling some group of people for no real reason and fighting pretty much to a standstill. We were all wielding broadswords and our rather faceless opponents had various firearms. We managed to beat them after awhile with minimal injuries though. As the last man died though he shot my friend and she died instantly. We immediately screamed out in anguish and cried over the horrendous loss. My friends began to dig a hole in the roof to bury her in while I wracked my brain for a way to bring her back. I could find nothing though, every time I thought I had the answer it slipped away. I was about to give up when I stumbled on the ingenius solution of going back in time to stop her from ever dying in the first place! I then dashed down from the roof into the building. Which turned out to be an enormous department store complex. I immediately ran towards the time machine section noting briefly that the lights were all off. I soon discovered that the store was infested with vampires. I stumbled into a group of them and got a thorough ass-beating. I ran like hell from my pursuers and just as I was about to be overtaken I ran into a roman soldier who agreed to help me on my quest. Together we fought our way down one side of the store. We emerged into a clearing in the forest like clothing section and found a large group of vampires. It was a tough fight but we managed to take them down. The Roman got a nasty gash on his chest and I broke several toes in the process so we decided to make camp for the night. In the morning, with our wounds healed, we set off towards the center of the department store so as to get a better bearing on our situation. We found though that our path was blocked by the perfume section. There was no way to get through. Searching franticly for a way out the Roman found a cave entrance and we both charged down into it. The cave turned out to be a vampire nest. We charged through desperately trying to make it to the other side but it was not enough. Within minutes the Roman was cut down and I had to fight back the urge to go to his aid so that I could save myself, I bit my lip and blinked away tears as I dodged past vampires on my way to the exit now in sight. I blasted out into the time machine section and managed to avoid being bitten long enough to open a time machine's door and . . .
Then I wake up.
You have a crush on the girl who died, but feel too inadequate to act. You also fear that your father will castrate you and you'll become a woman.

Remember kids, post count is the only measure of worth around here. Which is why I'm 12% or so better than Rickton.
And I'm like a million times better than everyone else in this topic.
