In the US, a man dumps hundreds of pounds of pasta in the woods in response to his mother's death.
A social media post puts politics on the map.
New Jersey – Walkers can expect to spot an animal or unusual plant or two on a trip into the forest.
On the other hand, nobody expects a huge mountain of pasta between bushes and trees.
But that's exactly what American Nina Jochnowitz found when she was out and about in Veterans Park in Old Bridge Township, New Jersey.
Around 500 pounds – around 250 kilograms – are said to have been lying there, including countless spaghetti, macaroni and ziti.
Jochnowitz, a former city council candidate, was alerted by a concerned resident and shared several photos on Facebook.
Other citizens also picked up the photos of the unusual find, and media such as the
News York Post
or
nj.com
reported extensively.
Noodle mountain in the forest in the USA: Politicians react to “Mission Impasteable” after social media post
According to Jochnowitz, the community responded to their posts and removed the pasta.
Your friend spoke of a "Mission Impasteable".
Other rubbish was also cleared away, some from nearby rivers.
Nevertheless, she is disappointed because the district is largely ignored.
According to the
Philadelphia Inquirer,
a community spokesman said: "Two city workers cleaned the area.
They loaded and properly disposed of all the pasta in less than an hour.” It was “several hundred pounds of uncooked pasta” that was removed from its packaging and dumped in the stream.

Man brings tons of pasta into the forest: reaction to his mother's death
The origin of the pasta is also clear.
As Jochnowitz revealed, a surveillance camera shows a man from the neighborhood clearing out the vast amounts of pasta from a house.
So it was a reaction to the death of his mother, who was apparently a really big noodle fan: "There was so much that he was probably a bit overwhelmed."
The man is believed to be a former military man.
According to Jochnowitz, he is in contact with the family.
But she doesn't want to reveal his name for one simple reason: "I don't want him to go through the trauma again.
I don't think it would be fair for the media to make a story out of someone's distress."
Pasta in large quantities in the forest: local residents also refer to piles of tires
It is not known what punishment the man will face.
Local residents are said to have taken the excitement partly with humor.
Even if the pasta story obviously reveals a problem in the community.
According to Jochnowitz, he leads clean-up campaigns, once 300 tires were removed from an estuary lake: “We got the district to remove about half.
But there is still a pile that is not being eliminated.”

Because parents let their children eat noodles straight from the table, the network is enthusiastic.
