They always had plenty of scrap from the gardens like cabbage leaves, carrot tops, spinach and peas...lucky hogs., and chickens. But, you're right, there is way too much waste that could feed half of America if our own country weren't so screwed up with rediculous notions. I agree with Fred on a few judges smacking down.<br />My GrandLoves are pretty good eaters. Seldom do they eat candy, but lots of fresh veggies from the garden...mostly because I let them have their own row to plant what they want, they tend their row, and gladly reap the harvest. They have been taught by their parents that they eat what is on their plate and be grateful for it. I guess we are lucky there. The oldest is the only family that has bad habits, taught by their very fussy father in the eating department. SO, I guess they do learn by example.<br />I have a scrap bucket to this day, but only the non-meat waste goes from the bucket to the compost heap. It DOES make that BLACK GOLD soil for my gardens too, just like Sam's. Not much waste here. Now, I'm wishing I still had a hobby farm.<br /><br />BlessYourSweetHeartsDarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-35469506942898772822010-06-01T21:26:25.631-04:002010-06-01T21:26:25.631-04:00Our slop bucket hung on a board nailed to the out-...Our slop bucket hung on a board nailed to the out-house. When we were not fattening our own hog one of the church members would come by once a week to collect it for his hogs. The chamber pot was the fancy ceramic jar under the bed with a lid on it that we used at night and emptied first thing in the morning. A "pisserie"? Never heard of that. ☻<br /><br />Like Shirl, "it makes me mad" to realize the waste that happens because children are so persnickety! And it also gripes me that we are made to throw away left-over food that could be fed to the hogs. It's really ridiculous - but it's caused partly because we have become so nasty in our attitudes, suing the restaurant because someone ate food there and got sick. It's my opinion that if a few level headed judges would smack down some of our silly legal claims we would see a positive change come over this country.Fred Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740055638280779519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-26767468561832699412010-06-01T20:26:08.115-04:002010-06-01T20:26:08.115-04:00Love this entry Jack.

Now for that other kind of pot---- I'm glad to hear someone else called it a chamber. No one else I ever knew called it that but my Mama did. I DID NOT like to empty it.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-88822551641667840482010-06-01T16:48:32.062-04:002010-06-01T16:48:32.062-04:00IT IS NEWS TO ME THAT SLOP CANNOT LEGALLY BE FED T...IT IS NEWS TO ME THAT SLOP CANNOT LEGALLY BE FED TO HOGS.<br /> SINCE BEING A KID ON THE FATM AND BEING MARRIED AND HAVING A GARDEN EACH YEAR, DID CONTINUE HAVING A SLOP BUCKET TO CATCH KITCHEN WASTE, USED THE SLOP TO BE APPLIED TO THE 'COMPOST CAGE' AND THE SLOP ALONG WITH GRASS CLIPPINGS AND WEEDS AND ANY GARDEN RESIDUE SUCH AS SPOTTED VEGETABLES OR LOWER CABBAGE LEAVES , THESE ADDED TO THE COMPOST RESULTED IN RICH BLACK SOIL FOR STARTING PLANTS IN SPRINGTIME.

He said if a hamburger stayed up in their bin for 15 minutes, it had to be thrown away, so they were careful not to pre-cook a lot. Can you imagine how grateful a homeless person would be to get a hamburger like that? But nope, down the trash it went.

They are not thankful<br />for food.

The only thing I can ever remember that I didn't eat was my dad's chicken gizzards which he loved and which I suffered. My grandchildren are picky. All of them eat little. Sometimes I wonder what they will be like when they grow up. And yes, my grandmother had a slop bucket for the pigs on their farm.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.com
