Wasted food !

I was so angry yesterday at school. I was in Eugenie's kindergaten class for her Gingerbread house and her Christmas Party.

Why American people aren't angry like me when they throw away so much food ?

First, children have crafted their gingerbread house, in front of them they have too much candies parents had to bring (list of candies, how many do you know ? licorice pieces, spearmint leaves, candy canes, necco waffers, gum drops, skittles, hershey kisses, miniature marshmallows, pretzels...). Without kidding, we put more than half of the items in the trash bin.

The party : there are 23 children in the classroom and there was food for let say 50 children, perhaps more. With the food (cupcakes, cookies, pretzels, fruits, vegetables...), come also paper or plastic plates, glass and napkins. 

At the end, within two hours, we filled three enormous trash bins.

Now the data of the ecological footprint became more concrete. You anderstand why we'll need five earths if every inhabitants in the world had the standard of living of American people.
