Merry Christmas to everyone. How we wish all people of the world were happy. They are not. 1.3 billion of them, or 1/3 of the world population are hungry and as we saw in Chicken A La Carte,video, 19,000 die daily from hunger. How we wish this would not happen. We are supposed to have as our mandate, taking all Gods creation, including our fellow men.
I hope these articles resonate with our passion/mission (RP3) or that it would be a part of that mission
Sometimes the food vendors are to be blamed for this loss; lack of
merchandising and pricing skills; wrong estimate of how much can be sold
or pricing the food out of the reach of many. Farmers on the other hand
destroy the crops in case of glut/overproduction
A sad reality where everyone contributes knowingly or unknowingly. The Christmas and New Year celebrations made our table full. I hope no food is thrown in the garbage. A timely reminder for all of us.
ReplyDeleteHaving worked in a food industry, we often hear about food security, food vs fuel concerns, and but ironically, we also see a lot of these wastage concerns. Yes, food will always be available as the world economies continue to grow. I encourage everyone to be responsible to eliminate such squandering. Think about the Chicken Ala Carte video when you have extra food to waste.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this and after watching the Chicken ala Carte, i promised myself never to waste food. I still cannot wrap my mind around the fact that such things exist. :(
