The causes of food waste or loss are numerous, and occur at the stages of production, processing, retailing and consumption.
It is utterly unbelievable that Global food loss and waste amounts to between one-third and one-half of all food produced.food that is lost during any of the four stages of the food supply chain: (1) growers, (2) processors, (3) retailers, and (4) consumers
An article on the food waste in the UK
The food left on your plate, or the vegetables that spoiled because you didn’t prepare them soon enough.We often do that in our daily life and we do not even know that there are people who are not able to get their share of food for even once in a day.
The other day i was going up on the news and just got stuck up a channel where an interview was going on and to the coincidence i was having my dinner ,it was like this He was a person who collects the remaining foods from different locations like Wedding ceremony,Hostel any public functions or any other functions where foods remain even after the party and after collecting them he distributes them to the poor kids who are not even able to get their foods for a single time of the day ,He became very much caring and supportive for those kids .He even told the story from where he got to do this kind of Social work ,It was probably his daughter's birthday and it was pretty big function in a hotel and after the function there were plenty of foods left he told the stuff of the hotel to take them to their home but they as per said it was more than enough and they have to throw away a lot of them he siad to them do as they want as left the place but while driving back home his eyes got stuck at the other end of the road and he saw a kid at the nearby dustbin almost beating a dog with stick and forcing him to leave the food at the dustbin and he did became successful and got to eat that food from the dustbin .
My hats off to him as his afford of helping poor children and i wish him best in the future.
I didn't really expect what to think at that particular moment but was very much helpless atleast to think about that boy situation .
There are people out there who can not afford the food due to many circumstances of their lifestyle .If you can Help them if you can not for at least do not waste food and think twice before you do waste food .
My only question what would you have done if you were in such place of those children ?
The era of food waste in the trash, litter on the streets, and wasting natural resources has got to come to an end.
