Modest Proposal: What's for Dinner?

The struggle to figure out what to eat for dinner is a huge topic - something that is covered in one of our past readings called The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. However, this should be simple to us all. Who ever said that we had to eat something super tasty or even healthy? Who decided that we had to enjoy what we ate? Instead, the important part of dinner is actually being fed and not starving to death. For example, instead of eating that big juicy steak for dinner, why not eat a pair of your old socks? You know, the ones with the holes in them?

If we were to simply start eating the things that we do not need any longer, we could get rid of a lot of waste. Why be picky about what we eat? All we need to do is eat. So why not simply take that poor shirt that shrunk in the dryer and put it to good use? Eat it. Taste should not be a factor anyways. As long as you are full, that is all that matters. And having a fried plate of cloth is one of the best things to fill you up.

Our issue of feeding the world would be instantly solved! No longer would we be picky over whether we got the banana itself or the banana peel - no, instead we would be able to eat both and not complain either. Having sustenance inside your tummy is quite important but we cannot resort to stealing, oh no. Getting rid of the waste by using it after all is quite effective. After all, there are people who eat bugs and bark and so on. Why not us as well? We can definitely make a change in the world if we do this together. Let's start with bite number one.
