Hard Fact: One-third or 33 percent of the food in the world is wasted.
When food is lost or wasted, all the resources that were used to produce this food - including water, land, energy, labor and capital - go to waste. In addition, the disposal of food loss and waste in landfills, leads to greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change.
What a tragedy that while 10% of world goes hungry, the world wastes 33% of food. This essentially means that 90% of the world has 123% of what they need, to be nourished. This to my mind is one of the most inhuman and most unchristian like behavior, fueled by greed and covetousness. and contradicting the 10th commandment.
Everyone knows the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand. Yet I will urge you to read it again. Matthew Verse 20 says -
"They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over".
What was left over was not wasted.
What we learn is that God provides bountifully, and we cannot and should not waste what He has provided.
Gods' blessings and provisions should be honored and shared.
