- linkregister 10y agoI fail to see what "Après nous, le déluge" has to do with the rest of your statement. I think you're misusing the quotation.
- alphonsegaston 10y agoWe have to be really doubling down on the irony if we don't understand the relevance of a quotation for "I don't care what happens after I'm dead" in this case.
- cardamomo 10y agoI think I agree with your general sentiment, but can you explain what you mean more precisely? It seems you're trying to tie together food waste, economic privilege, and global warming.
- alphonsegaston 10y agoYeah, that's about it. A massive spike in food insecurity for wide swathes of the world is almost a guaranteed outcome of our current climate trajectory. Talking about needlessly disposing of overly packaged, hand-delivered food just struck me as...well, you read the quotation. http://wfp.org/climate-change/climate-impacts http://wfp.org/climate-change/climate-impacts
- freehunter 10y agoExactly, which is why I'm complaining that Blue Apron won't stop sending them to me. I don't want to throw food away, especially food I paid a good amount of money for. That's one reason why I'm not a Blue Apron subscriber anymore. I didn't ask them to send me food I don't like.
