Garbages are emptied every night. Throughout the day, the only thing that goes in there is paper. So I ask, if you throw food in there, is it really so wrong to take it back out if you want it later? I'm sure everyone has a personal line that they would not cross... nothing that touches the plastic... a closed bag of chips or bottled beverage... depends how long it's in there... Pish posh, I say. What is the difference between your food touching a small, plastic sandwich baggie and touching a big, black plastic bag? None. So why, as I sit here, typing my case whilst looking at the half eaten donut in my garbage, can I not seem to bring myself to eat it? k, got a meeting.... hhmmmmm... donut....
