One way to solve E-Waste Problem

I wonder if it is true,
That we produce more E-waste than food for you and me.

If I had a magic wand on me,
I would turn my electronics waste into food for more than just me.

As I do not possess one,
My best hope is to find someone,
To invent the technology, 
That is not too stodgy,
Won't ruin my teeth,
And is generally good for my health.

Until that happens,
I will keep using my brains,
Instead of buying yet another calculator,
And food from my Garden I will continue to share with those, next door,
Who sold out to the developer,
Who promised them a life filled with technology that is better,
And bigger than anything they had before,
Neglecting to tell them they would soon become food poor.
