I just explained this to the third grader I met, she was able to grasp the concept while few on here have made the cognitive leap.
I'm not hungry right now. And I probably won't be hungry in the next thirty minutes either. Since neither myself nor anyone else will be eating the food in my refrigerator at this moment, I should just throw it all in the trash according to your logic.
