Chinese Starvation vs. Hunger games and Lie To Me

My friend Kara would never let me throw any food away. It was ridiculous. One day I had ONE PIECE of french toast leftover and she stole it away from my plate as I was emptying it into the trash and said, "the people in China are starving" and put that one stupid piece of french toast in the freezer. It bothered me more than it probably should. I told her that I would probably be throwing that away in two months when she still hadn't eaten it, but she assured me that she would. Guess what I did months later? Yes, I threw that stupid piece of leftover french toast away. Who likes french toast with freezer taste all over it anyway? However, apparently the people in China wanted her to eat that piece of food.

Thankfully we had our very own Chinese representative move in to be roommates with me. Bethany Matheson. Bless her heart! She had been to China (twice I think) and had my back. Once again Kara told us not to throw our food away because the people in China were starving and Bethany said, as I was rolling my eyes at Kara's determination, "the people in China don't eat this crap!" THANK YOU BETHANY! We proceeded to throw away leftovers after that and I felt totally justified.

So, I was thinking about all of this in the shower the other day (always the best place for thinking) and I thought about how saving our food, throwing it away, or eating everything doesn't help the people in China at all. Plus, there are homeless people right outside our door. Why do we have to call on people around the globe for homelessness to give us a reason to be conservative? Odd. Anyway, I think it's funny. If we were going about this the Kara way, then technically being obese is a compliment to the Chinese because we can say, "Hey! Look at me! I don't throw food away! I eat it all, yeah baby!"

Well, since I've read the Hunger Games, I kinda feel bad sometimes when I throw food away. It's actually kind of annoying, but good at the same time. I don't let my french toast rot away in the freezer, but I do eat more of my leftovers. Sigh.... That was it. That's why I told that insanely long story, just for that.

Also, I just finished the second season of Lie to Me and I miss the characters already. How will I know if people are deceiving me if Cal Lightman isn't there to tell me so? How? Sigh. Tim Roth sometimes even feels like my next door neighbor or best bud. I miss him. Sigh. Lots of sighing. I will wait for season 3 to be on Netflix and that will be a happy day.
