Ironic how some are dying of hunger whilst others are wasting a lot of food. It is unacceptable to be wasting food whether on our plates due to having served ourselves with more than what we needed or by throwing it into the bin. We must learn to take less in our plates, then if we would like to have more we may take again. When buying food we should never overdo it. Some people consider it a part of hospitality to have much more food than necessary. This results in much wastage. Let us be mindful of the less fortunate as well as the fact that the world needs much more food now than ever before so even if we can afford it, lets us not be wasteful in any way. When buying, when cooking, when serving and when eating we can surely improve ourselves tremendously in this regard. Just as we would stop eating certain foods for health reasons we should stop wasting food too, for spiritual reasons!
