Food waste, wasting food

Why do people waste food?

People starving

Seeing people walk away from their plate having hardly touched their food. It upsets me when there are so many starving in the world.



Wasting food is a sin in my opinion. I really hate it when I see people at a restaurant throwing good food away. People are starving and they are just wasting perfectly good nosh right in front of me.

31-3-2008People hardly realize that half a plate of food in America is just half a plate of food. However, half a plate of food in most third-world countries means the chance to LIVE ANOTHER DAY. Stop wasting food. You can make a difference.Solehah
12-3-2008Next time you visit a buffet, look around and check out other customers with overloaded plates that go back to the kitchen half full. If buffet restaurants charged for what was thrown away, that would stop the waste.fat fred
