do you waste food?

Guilty as charged. Sometimes I buy food and then we go out to eat and I forget about it until it's too late. Also I'm the only person in the house who eats leftovers. Plus my husband never covers anything, so if I don't catch it, "hockey puck"...

Yes but, luckily I have farm animals that will eat it. The only thing they won't eat is pasta but, that hardly ever goes to waste at my house.

of course not. Its not easy to find money in order to buy food.

i don't waste food. i take only the amount that i think i would finish. there are people who don't get food to eat and we are privileged enough to get food. this does not mean that we have the right to waste food. we do buy food which can be consumed later if not then... so we consume it within the time period without letting it go watse.

i don't waste food at all, atleast i try. but i have seen many people they waste so much of food everyday that can be used to fill many people, that's so wrong :( i feel that we should never waste the food because there are some countries in the world who don't even get 1 meal per day.

I do not waste food and i think no body should waste food because it is very precious. There are so many people who do not get enough food because of their poverty. There are some people who do not have any employment and even can not manage for their bread and butter. If a person is poor and have no money he can not get food. So food is very precious and we should never waste it.

It is not wise to waste the food, when in some parts of the world our brothers and sisters wont even get a meal per day. In western countries also they dont waste food. They destroy the expired food thats all.

I don't waste food because life in our country is difficult. Wasting food is such a big loss for us. What I do in order not to waste food and money is to buy foods just enough for us. I don't keep much food in our refrigerator because it will just be rotten if not eaten on time.

No, I don't waste food. I always buy food based on the demand, and seldom throw the food away. Actually, the food is not cheap now.

I am the master of meal re-incarnation, we throw very little food away because the left overs from previous nights ends up in a sauce soup or casserole on subsequent nights. Food is expensive and I am poor so we waste as little as possible. The last stop for any meat cooked in my house is usually a casserole or a ziti, using whatever sauce or soup the meat became part of the previous night. My in-laws love my casseroles and soups, so when we have had our fill in my house, I call my husband's step father who drops everything to come over and get his piece of left over casserole or jug of left over soup! Nothing gets wasted here. We also have dogs who will get the scraps from our plates. I am not religious but my mom comes from a third world country and always told us that it is a sin to waste food, I tend to agree with her on this.

we live in a third world country..and food is very important to us. though not scarce but mostly we consists of poor people. we live by simple lifes and live on mountainous region. living by food crops, rice plantations and if disaster may come. meaning we do not have anything to eat for our hungry stomachs. life is hard but we still do have some cities where we live in. but we really value our food so we do not waste it jhelai

Hello jb with lots of numbers. We don't waste food around the house but if there is a spoiled food, certainly it will be put to waste unintentionally. We would not want to be sick with eating expired foods, aren't we? We are trained by my parents to eat everything we get from the table. So we grew up like that. Even when eating outside, i always make it a point to make my plate clean *even a single grain of rice will be eaten*. It's sad to here the news you have posted. I am from the Philippines and a lot of beggars are lying on the streets looking for food. If only we could give some from them then definitely, it won't be put to waste.

If I buy it, I eat it. I don't really have money to go around buying things to throw them away like that. It's surprising that people are capable of buying something without the clear intent of consuming that, and I'd like to say "Oh, well. Their money.", but unfortunately this means that food is going to waste and you already know the consequence this has.

In summer i often waste food because they are easy to go bad.And at last of my mill i always leave some food as the remainder look bad.I think this is a bad habit.Many people have not enough food to eat in the world.

A lot of people are dying of hunger in other countries, we should not waste food. Good thing we have a dog and cats in our place, we would give them the leftovers to eat. At least we know that the food we were not able to finish was still eaten and not just thrown out to the trash.

jb7800 hi hatley here I am now in a retirement center so do not do anycooking bu t I do not eat everything all the time as my tummy can only hold so much and besides I am overweight so need to cut back as far as wasting food a lot of us Americans are so into not wasting food that we are one of the most overweight countries in the world. so if some of us choose not to make ourselves any heavier more power to us. as for food being wasted a lot of places reuse food by using up leftrovers so dont worry us about the starving kids in another nation as four tablespoons of something isnt going any further than the garbage disposal.

This is very unfortunate and a great shame. I used to waste food although I don't do this anymore. I don't cook anymore than I can eat in any meal. They are saying that many years from now we could suffer from a real food shortage as the world population is increasing dramatically. I try to remember those in poor countries that have hardly any food and this helps me to remember not to throw anything away. Andrew

That is something which I hate to do. I feel very bad about wasting food. Sometimes I give food or food items to the poor people nearby my house if I tend to waste. My mom never allowed us to waste food when we were kids. When I shifted house, I donated all the food items I had which I didn't want to take to the new house to my maid. I also gave her some old clothes.

Wasting the food on the plate is not fare one/ Everyone in the world earnes money first thing for the food only. So no one should not waste the food. But some people think that wasting the food on the plate is prestage one, but this is not a fare one.On the whole nobody shouldnot waste the food at the maximum.

most of the times i do not waste any food i am served as i am very hungry ,but it all started when one day i thought that i get food to eat and i waste it there are people they do not get even food for one time a day thinking that i started respecting the food i was served.
