Are You a Food Waster? - Go Global Today

My children are all grown now, and they will all tell you that their mom always says "Don't waste food. Children are starving in Africa." 

Yes, I said it and I'll say it again! 

You know what else? My mom used to say the same thing to me! 

And it's not just Africa either! It's all around the world! 

Now I'm 60 years old and the sad thing is that it was true when my mom said it and it was probably true before she said it. 

It's 2020 and it's still true!

WHY???!!! There's no excuse for it!!



" ... 31 percent—or 133 billion pounds—of the 430 billion pounds of the available food supply at the retail and consumer levels went uneaten in the United States ..."


"... 40 percent of all food in the United States was never eaten. ..."




Sorry. This is one of those things in this world that really perturbs me. Every time I see it, hear it or read about it, I break out the megaphone and start preaching!! Each time, I hope the words are not falling on deaf ears.




In my mind's eye, the opposite of WASTE is CHARITY. 

OK. So you can't end world hunger. But is there not one act of charity that you can render to another person? Is there really nothing you can do about people starving?

Charity never fails.
