Food waste heaven

"Honey, you have to separate the leftover vegetables from the meat, remember."

"Why?"

"Well, the vegetables can be made into useful things like paper cups, and the leftover meat can be made into nice new sausages and burgers."

"Where do vegetables come from, Mommy?"

"Why... they come from the vegetable factory, of course, sweetie."

"What are they made from?"

"All of the grass and leaves and paper and all the other things that are recycled."

"I thought vegetables were grown on farms."

"Well, some vegetables are grown on farms but we can't afford those kind of vegetables."

"Oh! Are we poor, Mommy?"

"No, we are not poor.... but we are not rich enough to afford farm vegetables. And who wants to eat food from a farm anyway? Grown in all that mud and dirt... yeuch!"

"Oh!... and where does chicken come from?"

"Where do you think chicken comes from sweetie?"

"The chicken factory?"

"Yes, that's right, the chicken factory."

"What is chicken made from?"

"Oh, er, um..."

"Well? What is chicken made from Mommy?"

"Mmmm, er.... you know when Grandpa fell asleep and went to heaven.... "
