Today, wasting food is a huge problem in our society. In the USA, we take our food for granted. When some people can't finish their food at a restaurant because of the huge portion, they throw it away. Instead, you should eat it for leftovers the next day. Another solution could be eating a home cooked meal because then you would have a smaller serving for you and your family so there will be less waste. Grocery Stores wastes lots of food too. Whenever an item (food) is at the wrong food aisle, they will throw it away. They also throw away lots of fruits because of the small bruises on apples and brown spots on bananas. Even when we are eating lunch at school, when students don't want to eat anymore, they throw it away. Instead, you should offer it to a friend or bring it back home. We need to think about people who are starving all around the world before we waste.

Hello Karen, I totally agree with what you are telling, now a' days it's quite hard for people to understand how much means to throw food away. Many people throw the food away because they think that they can have it all, when actually is not. I think people needs to be aware of many consequences or bad stuff if you are throwing food away. But also I think that at the moment of throwing the food away, you are also polluting in a certain way.

Hi Karen, this is Julie. I think your idea was great, and actually I am facing this kind of problem now in our school cafeteria. Seeing students throwing a large amount of food they couldn't finish into trash can. I have been thinking if people could eat as much as they needed, like they are eating in a buffet, there's not allow of wasting food.  As people can obey this kind of rule by heart, there will be less food waste, and polluting to the world.
