I grew up in a modest family. My family are not exactly rich, both of my parents worked hard to put food on the table. One important lesson that I always remembered was never to waste food.
I held on to this beleive since I was a kid, and I have made sure my children knows it too. According to CNN, 1.3 billions tons of food has been wasted every year. This piece of news just made my blood boil. In 2010, there are 925 million hungry people. Imagine, how many people that wasted food can be fed?
Christmas is a few days away. I encourage whoever is reading this blog to make a point to eat what can be finished and waste no food. Think about the people who are less fortunate. It is a season of reflection and gratitude.
Have a wonderful celebration.
