We are celebrating save food day on 25th may 2009. For one day try not to waste food. skip a meal if u can.
Chicken a la Carte
think before u waste food
The European Community has a population of 489 million minus 54 million in England and Wales = 435 million. Therefore if 54 million people waste US$18 billion of food per year, it is reasonable to assume that 435 million waste US$145 billion per year of avoidable food waste.
The United States has a population of 304 million. Food wastage can be estimated at US$102 billion.
Therefore, total food wastage in the European Union and USA can be estimated at US$ 18,000,000,000 (billion) + $145,000,000,000 + US$102,000,000,000. Total $265,000,000,000.
If these US$265,000,000,000 were not wasted in such an unconscious and "I'm alright Jack and screw you" sort of way, each of the 800,000,000 malnourished could theoretically have another dollar a day to live on (math � 265,000,000,000 \ 800,000,000 = 331 per year or about one dollar a day extra). Most starving people would double their income!!!
Besides food wastage which is prejudicing the world's poor, biofuels will increasingly take up arable land used for growing food and force food prices even higher even though in the capitalist system, higher prices should mean more acreage planted.
Thus, the world's poor are in the middle of a terrible bind: food wastage and biofuels � all in the name of maintaining the developed countries (in this case Europe and the US) in their accustomed life style.
Meanwhile, in Sub Saharan Africa and in places wracked by civil war over oil, such as Dafur, "Mr. and Mrs. Oblongi" and their 5 kids are looking at their dead livestock and eating mud pies spiced with grass since there is no food � not even wasted food from Burger King.
