The Food Pyramid

 Mr. Winkie's children do not have a difficult time gaining their livelihoods.  Besides the ubiquitous bowls of cat food on most hoochsteps, and apart from the frequency of people who share their food with the cats as they (the people, not the cats) come out of the cafeteria, there are the trash cans.  Nominally we recycle here.  That is, there are four humongous trash bins, and two are for food waste, one for plastics, and the last for aluminum cans.  When people first arrive they are usually quite scrupulous about separating their waste.  After the fifth time of seeing how the trash is handled - all four containers are carefully dumped into one larger container, which is then carted off to the place where all the trash is carefully dumped out and burned in an open field, further contributing to the clean air campaign - people sort of lose their enthusiasm.  The cats, however, do NOT lose their enthusiasm for the trash, because they have learned that it's a good place to load up on calories.  In fact, the two most serious threats to an individual's health here, other than the pollution and the bombs and the possibility of getting kidnapped and beheaded, are tripping over a cat as you go to throw away your leftovers, or getting clawed as you dump your food into a trash can in which one of the Little Winkies is scrounging for food.
