Before starting, just wanna say that this might be an advice, so those who don't want to read it stop here :).. I never advice people, at least not in this matter.. But since this way i need not tell people directly i am posting this..
I was just seeing this movie Blind Side.. I wouldn't say that the movie is a must watch, but it is a real life story of how a boy gets adopted by a family and how it changes his life.. No i am not asking to adopt a child, because that is too big a commitment for us to take, atleast at this stage of our life.. Hell i am not even going to ask you to donate to charities.. If you are already doing that, great.. Hats off to ya..
There is this simplest thing that everyone of us can atleast try to do.. Don't waste food.. Just try this once and you can see the difference.. It will give immense pleasure to think that you are helping in some way..
We can see daily in cafeteria that so much of food is going to dustbin.. Sometimes the items are be very bad and we can't eat them, but we always have the option of trying a small amount before filling our plates.. Yes this is going to be some extra work for us, but this is not completely impossible is it?.. This might work only in cases of buffet food.. Even in other cases, it is always possible to not go for varieties and just stick to whatever you think might be good there.. I know it is too much to ask.. We always want to try varieties, i myself being a foodie know how tough it will be..
At times we do fill our plates more than what we can eat.. Even this is one place for improvement..
The food wasted on our plates are sure to go to dustbin, but there might be some good enough caterers who donate the extra food which gets wasted after all of us have our share of food.. By this way there is atleast a chance of food not getting wasted and reaching the needy.. The next reason i am going to give might be far fetched, but who knows..
The caterers when they cook, will take into account all these wastages.. So they are always going to cook more than what is really needed.. If we try to avoid these wastages, then they too will re-evaluate the amount of food they need to cook.. This will in turn mean that they need to buy less groceries and vegetables.. This in turn means that the prices of these will fall because of the extra availability.. Which means that they will be available to those who can't afford those items at high prices.. Just think of it in the mass scale and you will understand what i am trying to say..
Don't think that nothing is going to happen if only you are going to do it, because Little drops of water makes the mighty ocean
It doesn't matter if you are eating in a five star hotel or a road side dhaba.. The thing which matters is the food rather than the amount money you spend on it..
So it is not going to be a problem if you want to give treat in good hotels :P.. Don't stop giving treats after reading this :(..
Sorry for all the advice.. But i will be happy if atleast one person tries this..
Just trying to spread something which i like doing,
A Jobless guy..
If 'U' stop eating for 1 day, we can save a lot of food :P
