Shouldn't we cherish our food?

It annoys me whenever I see people leaving so much food uneaten.

In your eyes, it might just be some leftover food that you don't feel like eating anymore, but in another person's eyes, it might be the food that can help him survive.

Have you ever thought that there are about 10,000 people dying everyday due to hunger and malnutrition? All we care about is good food, delicacies. If the food isn't to our liking, we throw it away. But do you even know that there are people who survive on your leftover food? Yes, you don't see them in Singapore, but what about the forgotten parts of the world?

Here's a video I want to share. You might have watched it on the Andss Portal forum, but nevertheless, I think you'll definitely change your opinion about the food in your plate.

Chicken a la Carte

We, being people with good food to eat, gets picky sometimes. Yet people living at the corner of the Earth, are grateful for they have at least something to eat. We never know how fortunate we are, until we see people who are much more unfortunate, but are grateful for what they have. We tell our parents, "I don't want to eat that, not nice to eat!", but have the kids got a choice to choose? We do, and they don't, but we never seem to be more grateful than them.

So let's tell ourselves that we are a fortunate bunch of people, and be grateful for what we eat.

Girls, finish up your food alright? :)
