My officemate, Acey, wastes at least two spoonfuls of rice every lunch. I think it’s such a big waste of food. I’ve pointed this out to her but she says she can’t eat a couple of bites more of the rice. I wish she would just offer a part of it to us before she starts eating so nothing gets wasted.
Study shows that an American family of four wastes that much food as stated on the photo. That’s approximately 122 pounds of food thrown out to the garbage. That’s a lot of waste!
I’m deeply concerned here not because I love food, but living here in the Philippines where there’s currently a rice shortage plus the fact that I read news of starving people in places like Africa and Bangladesh, it makes me think how could anyone have the heart to waste that much?
I eat everything on my plate. It’s not gluttony. It’s just putting God’s graces where they rightfully belong.
In my stomach.
I agree. I hate it when people leave their plates unfinished. It’s not very good manners.
Think of the people starving around the world and be grateful you still have three meals a day, you little shits.
You okay, Haze?
LOL!
last night, i watched this episode of tyra banks about this anorexic girl. she thinks she doesn’t deserve to eat. and you know what she does to stay stick thin? she chews her food then she spits it. i was disgusted because she can afford to do that while there are millions of people who don’t even have anything to eat!
Why eat if she’s gonna throw everything out anyway? Some people can be so inconsiderate.
I once watched a report about this group of people who call themselves “freegans.” They actually go around New York City and salvage food scraps, clothes and other stuff from the trash.
The surprising thing is they are not homeless or beggars, they belong to average households who can afford to buy their own needs. But they believe that people are throwing a lot of stuff that are still edible or reusable so that is their way of helping to minimize the waste.
@Ces
Yeah, I’m ok. I just don’t like wasting anything. If I’m not able to finish my food, I give it to P or my brothers, when they were still here. At least it doesn’t go to waste.
I saw that episode on Tyra. That girl’s terribly sick and it’s not attractive to be THAT thin. But then again, she’s so deep into it she probably can’t tell what’s right from wrong.
