Day 17 – Thanks for the Yes Vote!
So last night before I left work I posted a poll. It was one of my coworkers’ birthday and we celebrated it with some chips and salsa. Because there wasn’t a clear rule around the food provided at work, I posted a poll if it is ok to bring home the left over chips and salsa. The result came out to be 149 ‘yes it is ok’ to 12 ‘no’. I brought home the left over chips and salsa and this is what I had last night. Thanks!

Taking home leftover food is okay. Think of it as dumpster diving before it has hit the dumpster, and you’ve already said in the rules that dumpster diving is okay.
I’m glad … Salsa was the next closest thing to real tomatoes.
Looks so good! Makin’ me hungry!
Looks can be very deceiving….
True, but I had a very small breakfast, and didn’t have lunch yet, so it still looks good
Hey David,
Just wanted you to know that I gave your efforts a “shout out” in the online mommy community. Good luck! http://www.mommyq.com/2009/09/2009-for-20-days-challenge-a-lesson-in-food-and-life.html

MommyQ.. yeah I saw. Thank you very much. I think controversy is great, it brings more attention to the issue.
There is so much food thrown out every day. It’s so great to be able to reuse and distribute leftover food to people in need when we can. Personally, I am throwing away a lot less food waste these days since I started composting!
