Theory of scarcity (food – for thought)

The delighting sight of colourful sushi plates floating round and round on the conveyor belt in a Japanese restaurant.

The sumptuous smell of fresh bread in a bakery, all lined up to lure consumers to pick them up and put them onto their plates.

These are just 2 of the common stuffs we come across every now and then.

Did anyone think of this: What happens to the food that are not sold at the end of the day?

According to reliable sources, they are THROWN AWAY!

Does that means that due to a higher standard of living, there will be abundance food supply for all, people start to WASTE FOOD without a blink of eye? Have they even thought of, even though we are in a more affluent society, there are still people starving and making their daily ends met?

Is there a way to savage this situation, for eg. give the food to charities or homes, I’m sure they will be more then glad to accept it.

Hope humans really cherish what they hold in their hands, before its too late.
