do you think Holloween is a HUGE waste of food?

every year, around this time, every open space on a street corner has some "pumpkin patch" pop up. the area is littered with pumpkins of every shape and size. kids wading thru looking for the perfect carving squash.

i always wonder about the natural resources that go into growing this stuff.

personally, i eat the things. i go "all in" with pumpkins and fall squashes. i roast a big batch and chop it into salads, make soups. i've heard they are good for us. good to eat "colors".

in the end, i take my truck and gather up abandon squash. i get truckloads of the things and deliver them to my friends pet hog farm. they love them. machete them opened unceremoniously, and huck them into the pens. kinda fun.

the pumpkins I eat are not the pumpkins we carve and stuff. My kids still love Halloween, so even the time and resources aren't a complete waste. Now the candy... that's another story

No, not really. It's a once a year 'special event' thing. Think about how much food gets wasted the other 364. At least the refuse is biodegradable.

America in general wastes a ton of food.

Hey, we do our best to keep everybody in the food supply chain gainfully employed.

What annoys me is grown ups without kids requesting the day off. If you have a kid to take trick or treating, sure, no problem but a day off so you can act like a child, not gonna happen.
