People should be convinced about the need for avoiding food wastage, especially during the wedding season
SHAHPUR CHAKAR: Waste of food is one of the most annoying and inexplicable acts. Pakistan is a Third World country where millions of people don’t have two square meals but unfortunately many of our countrymen waste a lot of food without any remorse.
According to the Global Hunger Index in 2018, Pakistan ranks 106th out of 119 countries with a score of 32.6 and suffers from a level of hunger that is serious.
Thus, people should be convinced about the need for avoiding food wastage, especially during the wedding season. While the government should also ensure a system whereby extra food is directly transported to shelter homes and work towards feeding its population and curbing hunger, it is also the responsibility of the people to change their habit.
