I was surprised how much meat people smilingly throw away in NewZealand - when I was asked to "just throw it in the trashcan" around 30dkgs of perfectly delicious and cooked meal I simply refused and walked away.
My muscles were literally blocked to make that movement of my arms, swiping a plate of meal to the bin. Around ~25 other people did not have any problems with it, so I guess the problem is in me.
- mcv 8y agoNot just in New Zealand. It hurts me when I see people not finishing their plate. I will eat myself sick before I will throw away food. Sadly, this has developed into a bit of a weight problem. And then there's restaurants and supermarkets which throw away enormous amounts of unsold food. We should buy and cook less food, or maybe have a quick way of sharing left-over food with people who are hungry.
- maxwell 8y agoObesity is now a bigger problem worldwide than hunger.
- organsnyder 8y agoIs that because hunger has been diminished, or because obesity has increased?
- amanaplanacanal 8y agoI believe both are true.
- maxwell 8y agoI thought I read that obesity is growing faster than undernourishment, but I can't find a source on that now. It looks like the number of obese [1] and undernourished [2] humans are both currently 700-800+ million. 1. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5477817 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5477817 2. http://www.fao.org/3/I9553EN/i9553en.pdf http://www.fao.org/3/I9553EN/i9553en.pdf
