Um, you don't throw your food, you throw the line. Tie a rock to 40-50 ft of strong, smooth cord (or attach the cord to a small stuff sack and put (a) rock(s) in the sack). Attach the other end to the food bag (a large nylon bag will work fine, I use a silnyl stuff sack of appropriate size). Throw the rock over a stout tree limb about 12' or so off the ground or over the bear pole line. Pull your food up, tie off the line somewhere convenient (or do a search for the PCT bear bag method and use that).
If you can find a good tree and limb (or have bear poles), it's pretty simple.
