Can't we try Not to Waste Food? |
||||

Visits to restaurants and cafes, ordering a large menu, coffees, sandwiches, pizzas, fried chicken, paying a huge bill amount and at last eating only the one-third of the food and throwing the rest in the bin. That’s what people are used to doing regularly in their lives.
As quoted by James Russell Lowell “Wealth may be an excellent thing, for it means power, and it means leisure, it means liberty,” I would like to ask what about the people who have no money and no wealth? Can they buy food for themselves? Well about wasting food, this question never arrives in their lives. They beg around in the road seeking for food and finally pick them up from the bin where the waste food is being thrown. And even they are satisfied by eating not even the one third of that piece where the half has been digested by insects and animals. Can we afford what they do? Think about yourself if you have been in their place begging for food and eating from the garbage. Though everyone of us can’t afford to donate money but can donate that food which we are going to waste. Can’t we put forward our helping hands towards people? Can’t we make this world much better as it is today? |
