[RE] Wasting Food

This is a response to Julie's post.

I grew up in a family where wasting food was not okay. We had to eat every single grain of rice as a symbol of thanks to the farmers and the workers that had to plant, collect, and produce the grain. It was also a way to acknowledge the many people all over the world that are starving!

I completely agree with Julie here. I also grew up in family, where wasting food was pretty much disrespectful. It was rude to not eat or finish your food. The food on your plate costs money and you are fortunate to have food to eat. Like what Julie had mentioned, I also get ticked off when people just toss their food away like it's worthless. It might not seem like a big deal, but it bothers me. In my opinion, throwing away precious food is like throwing away money in the trash. One of my younger sister barely ever finishes her food, and I am constantly reminding her to finish it ,or else she will be sorry for it some day.

People who waste food should keep in mind that not everyone in the world has a three couse meal a day or any food to eat in general. Think about other people in the world and how less fortunate they are. Even if eating your food doesn't help them from getting food, remember the fact that you are lucky to be eating whatever you're eating.
