No...
The truth is we can produce sufficient food to satisfy each and every living creature on this mighty earth! There too much for everyone's need, but not greed.
There are some of the images below which seems that we need to think again in this regard.

| A machine used to handle waste food... |

| food wasted in restaurant... |

| food wasted by (extra)ordinary people like us.... |
The first and foremost image is the most common scene......which we generally don't notice! There are many kids, young men and women, old people, who are starving and dying, they get food once in a day at the max.
Once, I was complaining against the workers of a hostel, that they will not be working properly, etc... but the truth was that they were not healthy, so they weren't able to do it, the main cause was their salary Rs 93/- per day, which is not at all sufficient for an individual, how is it sufficient for a family? How much do we spend, once if we go to a hotel? some snacks, some starters, a little food ..... at least Rs 150/- ?.
Do we really enjoy that food? is the biggest question. The answer is NO!, the last image is the proof of that. Minimum of 1/4 th food will be remaining in the plates after dinner/lunch....
Upon that, the chefs of the hotel/restaurant need to serve nicely decorated plates, else the food will not go into our stomach! To make that, a lot of food is wasted, the third image is the witness.
With all these are done the the food in garbage yard is handled by machines (image 2).
I have experienced this once!, when a half a dozen of kids (may be of age 6-10) surrounding me and my relatives one day in a railway station, while we were having lunch, I gave a pie to two kids even than they didn't move from that place, when the food in our hands was given away to them, I enjoyed the happiness that blossomed on their faces.
I now understand what is food, I have taken PLEDGE to not to waste food, if I don't like it? i will not take it. Then there will not be the question of wasting food.
Many times questions arise, the food is prepared for me, I can do what ever I want to do to it.... that food is mine, but if I don't like it, I will give to a beggar but not to waste it, next time reduce the quantity! thats it... National savings......
