A few days ago I was eating my Fish 'n' Chips from Captain D's,
and as usual I threw aside the pukey Fancy Ketchup and whatever
that other abominable sauce is that they pack with it. But then it
suddenly occurred to me to wonder how many other people simply throw
away all those putrid condiments that fast-food places pack with
their meals? Surely nobody actually puts that stuff on their food!
If most people are like me, then it can be shown that Americans throw
away enough food every day to feed the rest of the world. What if we
all took the stuff we normally throw away and donate it to the starving
children in (INSERT FAVOURITE COUNTRY HERE)? We could solve the world
hunger crisis with throwaways from junk food! We could call it...
			JUNK AID!

Sure, we may not like it, and it may not be extremely nutritous by
itself. But those poor starving people have to subsist on wheat and
rice and other primitive foods, and these little ketchup and sauce
containers could really help make that food more palatable, if nothing
else. And many things we throw away are nutritious in themselves.

How many times have you ordered fries and walked away with an armload
of ketchup that weighed more than the fries, and had to throw most of
it away, or leave it on the table at the fast-food place for someone's
little kids to pick up and spurt at each other? What a waste!

I propose that we start a list of things we could donate to our 
favourite starving countries. Things we get with our fast food, or get
free in the mail, that we just throw away cold-heartedly. I'll start
it out with the stuff I throw away:



(1) Fancy Ketchup from Captain D's

(2) Abominable sauce from Captain D's

(3) Fork and napkin from various places (I eat with my hands and lick
	my fingers)

(4) Horsey Sauce from Arby's (Yucch!)

(5) Fries from Mrs. Winner's (Virtually inedible, but comes with
	most dinners, and might be acceptable if you're starving)

(6) Parsely or kale from Shoney's

(7) The awful "snacks" they serve you on airlines

(8) The awful "dinners" they serve you on airlines

(9) The skin off your baked potato

(10) New Coke  (They pass this off on you when you order a drink at most
	fast-food joints, and by the time you discover the switch it's
	too late. Save that Coke! Starving people need to drink too!)
