The first warm day of the year means overflowing doof garbage, of course
Sunday was the first warm day of the year. It was shorts weather.
Do we celebrate the abundance of nature?
No, that’s not today’s American values.
What are today’s American values? You can tell by our behavior.
We buy doof, not food. We don’t prepare it. We buy it pre-prepared, which means overloaded with salt, sugar, and fat, then packaged.
We don’t even eat fresh fruit on its own. We eat non-fresh fruit pre-chopped and assembled into plastic containers.
Want proof? When I went to Washington Square Park for my sidcha to pick up at least three pieces of litter from the northwest corner, every trash can was beyond full. People weren’t satisfied to fill the cans. They dumped doof packaging trash all around the cans.
The trash I picked up I didn’t try to put in those cans. I carried it to cans outside the park.
Not one piece of trash I saw was necessary. People lived and thrived for hundreds of thousands of years before packaging, they lived healthier and longer, despite what your culture told you. Now, 80 percent of Americans are overweight or obese and, what do you know, they consume more doof and eat less food than ever.
The problem is not too little sanitation. It’s too much production.
The problem is not too little sanitation. It’s too much production.
No sanitation system in the world could keep up with this production. If one could, they would just increase production.
This garbage hurts people. You may like the convenience, but it still hurts people without their consent. It violates the Constitution, even if unenforced.
When you buy packaged food, your money funds the system producing this garbage.

You may think, “But I don’t want to hurt anyone.” The world responds to what you do, not what you think.
You don’t like that other people do things that hurt you without your consent, especially when illegal even if unenforced.
