Hotdogs and chips courtesty of AHA

[Flattlander]

The American Heart Association was giving away free hotdogs and chips at my work today, for donations. I thought that was very thoughtful. I was suprised that not many people saw the irony in that.

Pretty funny, this world.

Reminds me of when my children were in grade school. Every year there would be this envolved, week-long program focusing on Reduce, Reuse & Recycle. The kids would save all their garbage in a bag by their desk to see how much they generate. They would scrape lunch scraps into worm bins. They learned about styrofoam, off-gassing, landfills, HDPE, salmon habitat and more. A good, encompassing program.

Then - throughout the rest of the year, sometimes within weeks of this program, whenever there was a field trip they'd tell the kids to bring their lunches in disposable packaging - paperbags, plastic wrap, apples, box drinks, etc - all dumped in the trash. Tidier I guess. My poor kids had to bring their lunch things home to get washed.

I didn't say anything to the administration thinking the mixed message being sent would certainly become glariingly obvious - but no. LAter, when we pulled our children out of school to go traveling, while finishing those details in the office I finally asked the Principle why the double standard. She stopped short, cocked her head and said, "huh, I guess we never thought about that".

I left with no sense anything would change. Who knows. Funny world.
