"For Every Minute You are Angry You Lose Sixty Seconds of Happiness." Emerson

 
On the internet tubes I found this awesome chart that displays 20 things that happen in a minute, but one particular statistic on the chart stood out to me far above any of the others:

"Every minute 120,673 pounds of edible food is thrown away in the united states..."

Jeepers! I hope that none of that food is chocolate cake!!

I'm sure much of it is in fact chocolate cake!

I think it's mostly coleslaw and soggy pickles.

It's mostly veggies Dr. Zed. Don't worry. I won't let them throw away your chocolate cake!
Never. :D

For every minute you are happy you lose sixty seconds of making fun of Emerson.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Not chocolate cake and Martinis! That's two of the most important food groups for bloggers.

Remember that there are starving apes in China.

I bet school cafeterias account for about half of that figure. I subbed for the lunch monitor at my kids' school the other day and I'd venture to say the average child ate 50% of the food on his or her plate (and I can assure you, not one single piece of chocolate cake was harmed in the making of this comment, dear Dr.).
