Impede Food Wastage
Abundance of availability of edibles owing to the scientific inventions; and downfall in religious values has widely resulted in the wasting of foodstuffs. Inspite of the fact that most of the religions of the world; be it Hinduism or Islam put down significant stress on the importance of food as a blessing, rather a sacred entity, most of us are in continuous habit of wasting food products. Without even thinking for a second about those who don’t have access to this blessing and who die because of hunger. We still don’t mind going tons of food in trash.
Now if we look upon the reasons for such attitude towards food, we will see that the first and the foremost reason is the aplenty of food. Credit goes to the scientific inventions which regardless of our needs keep on providing us with assorted food items, and we keep on wasting it. Secondly, we are so much deteriorated in our moral and ethical values that we don’t bother about the wastage of food. It could be easily witnessed in marriages, birthday parties, Iftaris in Ramadan or any other get to gather; that platters full of edibles are thrown away in bins, while beggars waiting outside for single bite of food. At that moment if most of us only think about the process how food reaches us, right from the farm house till our door step; I think there would be significant progress and we would at least start thinking about ceasing food wastage.
The solutions to this issue are not much complicated enough to be practiced. Every one of us eats food. So everyone could participate. Right from the one who reads this article could enlighten the one who doesn’t read but wastes food. Furthermore this concept should be introduced in children syllabus, which will mould their minds in the very childhood. Ladies and men could also be a source to spread awareness among the masses. Together we could bring significant changes in the thinking and practices of the people and gradually making this important matter initially national and than international.
