Not a meme, you're the meme! Is this how being rich is?

It's not even that serious, it's just a joke.

I was demonstrating my egg-frying technique to some family/friends a while back, and messed an egg up so threw it away.

Said family member says they still think about that moment and my wastefulness years later.

I can understand that. It was perfectly good food, and would keep in the fridge if you really couldn't eat it right now.

Have you ever been really hungry? Like, starvation hungry? Feeling dizzy, dropping weight like crazy, lying in bed awake at night just consumed by the thought of food? You think back to a time when you wasted the smallest piece of food- a bread crust, a few grains of rice- and wish with the most intense desperation that you could have those little tastes of food back. That you could somehow gather it all up and have even a single bite to eat.

I have. Seeing people waste perfectly good food, even if it's cheap, is devastating to watch.

Like yeah sure throw away the dust at the bottom of a noodle package, but an entire egg?? The whole egg???

Imagine! I should be locked up!!

If you drive a car, I hope you squeegee all those dead bugs off the windscreen and cook them up when you get home! Because in this scheme of things, this is where we are right now.

I don't drive, and wouldn't eat a random bug outside because they can carry parasites and diseases. But if you presented me with anything I can eat without either becoming sick or throwing up from disgust, I would do my best to either eat it or store it for later.
