eco-friendly with what you are wearing? eating? doing? Is the eco-friendly mentioned synonymous with "environmentally friendly"? Would you be successful if you tried to be eco-friendly? Are you guaranteed to go to jail if you get caught being "eco-friendly"? | ||

"You" = any of us on the LTPF? any one person on the Earth right now, doing this eco-friendly action? or does it matter what country/countries the person/people being advised and the person doing the advising come from? Is this something that could actually happen, or did you make it up? Did someone else make it up? Is Romania relevant? The United States? The UK? Other countries relevant? If so, {LTPF list of relevant countries} please? | ||

Does this involve a specific kind of food? A specific kind of packaging on the food? Is there a law involved? Are there two ways to eat something, and the more eco-friendly method is against a law? | ||

Is this related to eating someone else's food, that they would have otherwise discarded? You are trying to be eco-friendly by eating leftover food, but get in trouble for "stealing" or something similar? | ||

Dumpster diving? By the way, if this entire line of reasoning is wrong, just say so and I'll get off it. :-) Your title is "junk food" so I thought it made sense. | ||

Dumpster diving? No By the way, if this entire line of reasoning is wrong, just say so and I'll get off it. :-) It is OTWT, true :-) Your title is "junk food" so I thought it made sense. It does, but it is not the answer. The meaning of the title was something like: I prefer junk food if the alternative is serving time in jail | ||

Is the food something you could purchase at a restaurant? Can you eat it in your own kitchen? Is it more acceptable in certain locations rather than others? Private versus public? Does this food have calories? Would the police be the people who "catch you" eating this? Would someone seeing you eat this turn you in if they were against this? Is this a political issue? Is there a difference of opinion on whether this should be legal? Is marijuana or hemp involved at all? | ||

Is the food something you could purchase at a restaurant? Yes Can you eat it in your own kitchen? Yes Is it more acceptable in certain locations rather than others? No, it's a very normal type of food Private versus public? Does this food have calories? Probably, but usually few Would the police be the people who "catch you" eating this? Not eating it, but... Would someone seeing you eat this turn you in if they were against this? Not eating, but... Is this a political issue? I don't think so Is there a difference of opinion on whether this should be legal? It is reported as such, but beware FA Is marijuana or hemp involved at all? Not at all is the junk food cheeseburgers? kaylee kitteh loves cheezburgur... Me too. And I wouldn't say no to a shawarma either. is it fast food at all? No, the subject of the puzzle is a kind of food that can be found on any table -- on yours or mine as we speak from a specific restaurant? A chain? No to the rest | ||

Hmm. This sounds a bit like my neologism about picking up beer bottles and getting arrested for underage possession of alcohol. Is that in any way close? | ||

kaylee kitteh does not know what a shawarma is...is good? A shawarma is a kind of a middle eastern "burger", now widely available around the world. I like it -- at least in the variants that are sold here. Also known by the Turkish name of "kebab" or the Greek name of "gyros" few calories...is the food made with vegetables? fruits? is it a vegetable? YES! The rest are a no fruit? Hmm. This sounds a bit like my neologism about picking up beer bottles and getting arrested for underage possession of alcohol. Is that in any way close? Only in that it seems to me similarly stupid. Otherwise no | ||

Is one specific vegetable relevant here? Does it have to do with food labelled for "human consumption"? Does it have to do with the sale of the vegetable? Transporting it from farm to somewhere else? Does it have to do with cooking the vegetable? Serving it? Does the law pertain to the vegetable in it's pure form (like a carrot)? Or as part of something else (like carrot cake)? | ||

Is the relevant food grown in a garden? Somewhere where the grower does not have the right to grow food? Is it mistaken for something that it is not? Are we talking solely about growing vegetables? One particular type of vegetable? Is someone growing the food solely for their own use? Relevant? Are they giving it to others? Selling it? | ||

Is the relevant food grown in a garden? NoSomewhere where the grower does not have the right to grow food? Apparently, yes! Is it mistaken for something that it is not? No Are we talking solely about growing vegetables? This was the real situation. I don't know if it applies to other plants as well One particular type of vegetable? No Is someone growing the food solely for their own use? I think so, but irrelevant anyway Relevant? Are they giving it to others? Selling it? Good questions. The only remaining thing is to discover where the vegetables were grown | ||

Does the property on which they are grown belong to the grower? Are they grown outside a house? On a plot of land unconnected to a building? On an allotment? Does the land where they are grown have a relevant primary purpose other than the growing of vegetables? Is the illegality due to safety reasons? Reasons of appearance (eg it makes the area look untidy)? Is it the growing itself that is illegal? The harvesting? Just going onto the land? | ||

So is the area on public display? Is it by the side of a road? Out the front of a house? The back? Is it a graveyard? | ||

So is the area on public display? Yes Is it by the side of a road? Probably Out the front of a house? We have a winner! The back? Is it a graveyard? ******* SPOILER ******* According to some reports, Julie Bass of Oak Park, MI, decided to plant vegetables in her front yard, instead of the usual grass / flowers mixture. Apparently the city planner strongly disagreed, deeming the choice "unsuitable" and after giving her a fine decided to go further. The woman is facing 93 days in jail for her offense. It seems that the hearing will take place on July 26th. The full story can be found here Thanks to all who participated and to Enjay for the final solve. |
