Everybody has seen the Quizno's commercial combatting Subway's "5 Dollar Foot Longs" campaign, right? More meat! You can't get that at Subway. Well, why do I need more meat? Quizno's gives you enough bread for an entire day with their subs, so more meat? Come on!
I ate at a Chili's yesterday for lunch because there wasn't anything but fast food joints around. I got the fajita quesadillas, knowing that they give me enough for two meals. So I had the intention of taking the 2nd half of the meal with me to eat later on for dinner. Nevermind that I left it in the office. DOH! Something occurred to me though. I ordered a meal knowing that I would take food home. I see two problems with this:
1) Why not order something more portioned?
2) Taking food home almost always means taking styrofoam home and tossing it out later.
So I intentionally created waste, basically. Got me thinking....if people ordered something at a restaurant that is better portioned, they won't over-eat. Also, it saves on packing and waste created with today's to-go containers. On a personal note, I absolutely HATE IT when people drink multiple sodas at a meal, and then ask for a refill in a to-go cup. HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT. And I'm not exagerating. That's all for now I think.
