The Starving Of The World Are Going To Kill Us For Copying Park Rangers

I’m not sure how many of you saw this already, but apparently a park ranger from Death Valley National Park posted a video where she fried an egg in a skillet using only the heat of the desert sun:

This wouldn’t be such a big thing, but apparently people started copying her. For some reason, these people weren’t using skillets, just preferring to cook the eggs on the ground. So many people were doing this that the park had to ask people to stop because of the mess it was making. Though weather conditions have reduced temperatures in the park to the point that this isn’t an issue anymore, I’m thinking this is the sort of thing that is going to cause the starving of the world to rise up and kill us. Possibly eat us as well.

I suppose I should explain. Given the fact that people weren’t using a skillet, I’m guessing that they didn’t eat the eggs afterward. It’s possible, but I don’t think there’s much of a chance of it. Further, think how many eggs must have been involved if the park service finally had to ask people to cut this crap out. It must have been an awful lot of eggs. Just think about that.

After all, how many people could have been fed by those eggs? I don’t necessarily think that we are obligated to feed everyone in the world who is hungry, though I’d rather we did so, but the amount of food that we simply waste is staggering. There are hungry people in the world and we have so much food that we have no problem dumping tons of it all over the ground simply to watch it sizzle like we could have already seen in an already available video.

Next we’re going to grow endless fields of wheat and then just set it on fire to watch it burn because we aren’t hungry right then.

I’m not good enough that I send all my spare money to feed the hungry or anything, but this even struck me as a little bit over the top. We may have more food than we need, but we can at least not waste it and demonstrate that in such an obvious fashion. Someday the hungry are simply going to kill and eat us. Weakness from hunger is probably the only reason they haven’t done so already.
