I work at a large global corporation and the wealth they throw away in food alone every day makes me ill.<br /><br />Anyone who watches an election here in the US can see clearly that money is votes, too, but I just don't think people pay enough attention.forbiddenbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05148990059119859196noreply@blogger.com
