Hi everyone!!
How are you all???
What will you do if you don't have adequate food to survive?
I bet many of us think that such circumstances are as rare as hen's teeth.
If you have roof over your head, food to eat, water to drink, then you are one among the richest people on the Earth.
I'm aware that not a soul is agog in reading the statistics. So am not going to include any statistics in my post.
Do you know what is hunger?
My friend and I go outing every weekend. We have lunch and dinner at some restaurant. We used to order lots of dishes, but we hardly eat more than one dish. The rest is THROWN AWAY.
Wasting food was a child's play for my friend and me. But now I discern that frittering away food is the biggest sin. People who are wasting food can be labeled as a MURDERER.
Because,about 21,000 people die everyday of hunger or hunger related causes according to The United Nations. This is one person in every four seconds. The lamentable state is that, there is abundant of food in the world for everyone. So people wasting food are secretly immersed in the process of killing innocent people.
An incident that changed my attitude towards wasting food,
I think you all are aware about ramadhan fasting. Don't think that I'm going to give a religious explanation. As Muslims, we must fast during the month of Ramadhan. One of the reasons for undertaking fasting is,"To know the difficulties faced by poor people". We break the fast during sunset. I stay in hostel, so have to depend on roadside shops for food to break my fast. One day, I went out the street and was searching for restaurant. There were many,but none was open. Even if opened, they didn't have food at that hour. The most dreadful moment is, starving for food even if you have enough money to buy food. That moment was a real eye opener. I realised the mistake I had done for years.
Every bit of food you throw away, can make an empty stomach,full at the other end of the world. So stop wasting food. There are a shedload of social groups,who collect the surplus food. So if you see food being excess in marriages or any other occasion, you could contribute those surplus food to such social communities. I hope that each and every person reading this post, will never ever waste food...
