We waste too much food....here more so than in Singapore or Malaysia. Good and tasty food is exactly that. Having lived and worked in Singapore for a while and now in Australia I have to say that I have developed a taste for an expansionary cuisine base. Japanese is still awesome with all the fresh seafood in Australia and Italian is so fucking yummy. My girl is aussie aussie but she has really embellish all the different cuisine although she keeps bastarding the lamb curry!

The musical Oliver We as a nation waste far too much food, all the while people are food insecure. I never understood that. Seems like the two could be, should be married somehow.~~

Oliver is the musical... We take a lot of the food we eat for granted - strawberries for example are available all year round now, a while back they were a seasonal food. Consequently people tended to eat what they had and what was in season. The virus has highlighted how socially and commercially we are inter-related, once parts of the supply chain breakdown then it has a knock-on effect, it might be silly things like types of rice or bread but these are microcosms of a larger picture. Social distancing means a reliance on a tighter community of people around you - again something we have grown out of over the years.

I am sure there is food waste in places we cannot even imagine. But here in my particular state in the USA our food pantries cannot keep up with the need for food for people who have no jobs ,no income because of this virus. Many of us who still have some means to get food are trying to help the pantries from our own limited supply. If I were in the position of needing sustenance I would happily eat tings I had no taste for rather than go hungry and act spoiled.

As a child I started to cry when food was about to thrown away in the trashcan. At home food wasn’t wasted. It was made very clear to me that there are people in Africa (not just Africa) that don’t have anything to eat, that are hungry. We don’t have the faintest idea what being hungry feels like. It definitely does not feel like having an appetite. Talk to the people that have experienced the war(s) or are children that were born at wartime. The times I've eaten at other people's homes, who cook a lot more than there are eaters, I eat more than I can handle, just to avoid throwing away the leftover food. The ease with which people throw away food, as if it were an old newspaper. We humans need to realize that there is a limited amount of food available. Throwing away food instead of eating it means that a less fortunate person may not be able to buy food. I both like Basmati and Jasmine/Pandan rice. Crunchy vegetables? Yes, please. Spicy but keep your hands off the sugar bowl. What is it with you people adding sugar to food? It is said that this gives the food a better texture. All that sugar in our daily food turns us into a hippopotamus. I enjoy the different flavors and not being dominated by one; that you have to ask "what was this?" I weigh my food. As a result, I limit the calorie intake and no food is wasted. I don't waste food anyway. Need a way to message all members? Click [post 4074810] for instructions .
