food for thought...literally

majority of the people do not have value for food. they waste food without thought and think its the normal thing to do. So many people, put on their plates, much more than that they think can consume and shamelessly waste the rest. If i could have my way, i'd keep such people starving for a day, all the while with the food that they wasted earlier in their sight but not within their reach. that'll teach them the value of that half-paratha that they left on their plates, those extra slices of bread that they discarded and so on.

I see the amount of leftovers that accumulates at the place where we all deposit our plates, after lunch at the cafeteria. i'm sure the quantity from a single session would be sufficient to feed 20-30 people. for people who do waste food like this, just imagine that a starved family is staring at you while you are depositing your plates. If you have even an iota of conscience, you will surely feel a pang in u'r heart.

Please order only that much food that you can consume. If u end up with a lot of extra food on u'r plate, its not a state of helplessness, but a state of guilt. its your fault which u have to make amends for. Do whatever it takes. get it parcelled and give it to a beggar on the roadside. You'll get his blessings at least.
