Is it true that we have to burn the rain forrest to get land to save our lives? Do we really have to dry out the rivers for us?
Do we?
Let's take a deeper look into that...!
On the on hand... starvation is a reality, but on the other hand we have food in overflow...
Food which looks nice, healthy, fresh and is above all we say...cheap...
So what's wrong with this picture?
The answer is more easy to find then we think.
Let's see...
First, we throw away 30 till 40% of the harvest, after harvest. Why? They do not comply with the DIN standard. Everything must be according to the rules- of equally size and ripe.
The shelves must be filled according to stereotypes.
It says it is selling better then.
But that's not all of the throwaway society!
No, not at all!
Another rule is that fruits and vegetables are only allowed to be on selling for a certain time. You know, all food has a date of "Last Day of Use"- means after this date, you have to throw away the food. Well- we know, most food is still eatable after the date but this is a DIN standard too. So what does this means for fruits and vegetables... Every Weekend the stores have to throw away, no matter if it's still good or not. Rules are rules and so we waste one more time... not to say it... and because the shelves are supposed to be always fully, we have a lot to throw away again... about 30 till 40% again.
That means from the harvest - only 30% or if we are lucky 40% reaches your table. The rest is wast. So we must confess.
Another sad thing is.... it is not that easy to say o.k. let's collect all this, because it is mostly not allowed to take the food and give it to the poor, only if we have a organization or association which collect food from restaurants.
So.... if we think about it...is this not a big scandal? Just because we made a stupid DIN standard, we throw away so much and then because of the money... it get's throw away again.. one reason why the rich countries don't give flour, for example to Africa and then... the banks are also dealing with the prices- the food cost more then it should be.... AND THEY TELL US WE DON'T HAVE ENAUGH!
Why are we o.k. with this... are we? WE should be no more...! Let's say stop to this stupid game!
WE HAVE ENAUGH FOOD! Maybe we need even less of it and it is all possible by not throwing away all the good we get from mother earth.
What can you do? First of all, we don't need every time all food from the world... then help organization which collect and then by BIO Food.... Organic Food and Fair trait... support associations to abolish the DIN standards.... Let's go out on the streets and tell to other people...
This crazy behavior has to end. You see, we have already all we need to fight starvation.
Think about it...
Bon apétit
LOVE & LIGHT
