Please Respect Your Food!

You know.... we are one group of very blessed people in Malaysia.. although myself included, there are many policies and rules here that we are very not satisfied about, that we complaint so much... but I have to say that we are as well despite those negative stuffs, too blessed to have a proper job, to have enough money to spend every month, to have a decent house to live in, to have some entertainments and some high class people to travel round the world each year....

Malaysia also has abundant of foods for its citizens.... although not as much varieties as US... we have more than enough food to supply for our own people, at reasonable price.. for instance, with Rm15 we can have a good meal at KFC with 3 pieces of chicken meat, mash potatoes and Coke, some kopitiams economy rice is just Rm5, 1 bottle of milk is RM4-5 etc....

However, I find that middle class and above Malaysians mostly don't appreciate what we have and they are very, very wasteful, especially on foods. I don't know why.. maybe our foods are too cheap? or they are in so huge a portion that they really cannot finish it that have to leave a portion behind to be thrown?! Why not take away?

Many of them, love to go for buffets and all-you-can-eat restaurants where they take damn alot of foods that most likely most of them can't finish at all!! Just becoz it is all-you-can-eat doesn't mean that you can take too much and just leave behind to be thrown away by the waitress??!!

Damn lucky am I that I have good parents that teach me since I am little to value our food and not allowed to waste our foods... even I can't finish my food outside, I 'tabao' back home and make sure I finish it later....but I find that nowadays, children are more and more wasteful as many parents don't teach their kids to appreciate food (becoz they themselves are wasteful sluts!!!!)... Shameful!!!!

This is really disgraceful for not respecting our food and be thankful for what we have every meal!!!

Pls think twice before you waste your food again becoz there are so many people out there that starved to death becoz they can't get any food!!!

If you are in the blessed group with food, do respect your food or if you believe in Karma, your next life might just end up somewhere with no food that you need to starve!!!

If you have too much delicious food everyday waiting to feed you that you forgot what is the meaning of food, pls just take a moment to watch the below video on what is now happening live in the Phillipines... And pls start to respect your food and be grateful.
