Blog 61

OK, I admit it, I missed the blog yesterday because I was just too excited about coming home to remember.  But that topic of this blog is to blog about something that concerns me I this world.  What concerns me most would have to be world hunger.  I just can’t understand how so many people take for granted the fact that they have food, and even waste their food when others are starving and dying of hunger.  A girl who live down the hall from me will throw away the best of foods only because she is a really picky eater.  For example, when we went to dinner for a friend’s birthday, she threw away all of her entrée because “it had too much cheese on it.”  I was enraged by this because the restaurant can’t do anything but throw it out and she just wasted so much food.  I feel if people were to just clean their plates at night (without overeating and contributing to the increasing trend of obesity) that not only will more food go to others in this world, but also maybe even the landfills will fill up less quickly and we might be able to conserve energy too because less food would need to be grown, transported, cooked, etc.  I just feel like people should be more appreciative of what they have instead of being little primadonnas about everything and realize they are lucky just to have food.
