this is just sad

The food thrown away in Europe and North America would be enough to feed ALL the hungry people in the world three times over

No point in feeling guilty about it. That's the way the world works.

These nations where people starve for lack of food tend to have highly corrupt governments. They could have grown themselves and done better for their poor but instead these countries have regressed.

Hopefully the future of these countries is better than their pasts. Makes me happy to be a north american.

Its not just europe and the states that waste food. China and India are leading the charts in wasted rice stock piles due to inadequate storage facilities. Rice is still mostly stored in 50kg bags stocked up in open warehouses where it gets moldy or rat infested. Most get spoiled because of poor infrastructure and not operating on a first in first out policy. Only now are they starting to mass introduce grain silos which ensure the oldest grain is used first.

The countries you mentioned aren't the only ones wasting food. If you wanna conserve food and help those countries that are in deficit, then you ought to start out from your homes. Many households waste tons of food every year (myself included) and there are few that actually care about conserving food.

I never happened to throw food. Food costs money and throwing it is just like throwing away money. wtf people think when throwing? Unless the food tastes bad I ain't throwing, I paid for it.

yup that's exactly what I thought!

I mean I try not to waste food but you can't avoid it.

I totally agree with this but we have to agree if big nations like Europe and America would let Third Countries alone, they would have been thousands time better. America always tries to protect its own interest either by stealing Arabs Oil or Fishing in South Africa ( Somali ) Water.

We live in a Fuck'd Up World and I have no idea why Allah chose this time for me. I would gladly prefer to be in any Era where I could fight back for my freedom and die for it. Instead of "Politicians" making deal and only stealing from their people no matter in which part of the world you are in

big nations like Europe and America... Allah ..."Politicians"

I suppose living in Egypt it's easy to be so negative, but blaming others and being the innocent victim isn't the answer. You want things to change, change your perception. We all have the power to change our life situation, no matter who or where or when we are.

The resources we waste on a daily basis is obscene.
When the zombie apocalypse comes we will all regret this.

 

[SirTimberWolf]

While I can certainly empathize with these ideas, I really don't see much changing in our lifetimes... Unless we go back to the days of the early 90's when America had 20,000 marines in Somalia to make damn sure that local warlords didn't interfere with humanitarian efforts. . . But let's be honest, no one (with power) cares about starving people in a country they can't pronounce, find on a map or exploit in some way.

We can be the change we wish to see, but it isn't going to be easy nor pleasant.

Pay attention because you can't afford free speech.

Ah, blame it all on the great Satan if only it was that easy! The world is much more
complicated than that my friend! The politicians and the corrupt are everywhere!

Feeding the starving is much more complicated than dealing with waste.

How true. Well said SirTimberWolf
