Worldwide, millions of people suffer from hunger. Especially in Africa and Asia. In other parts of the world simultaneously thrown away tons of food. Because there is a brown spot on it, or because the sell-by date has expired. Annually ends up about half of all the food produced worldwide in the trash. This is evident from the report of the British Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IME).
Causes of waste include poor storage, the expiration of the sell-by date, 'one-product-free' offers and our desire for aesthetically perfect products. An apple with a spot is soon over beaten.
"This is food that can be used to feed the growing population in the world used -. Including those who today simply hungry The amount wasted, it is shocking, it is also an unnecessary waste of energy and. land and water that is used to produce and distribute the food. "
Our quest for perfection is also evident from the proportion of vegetable that is grown in Britain, but not harvested because of the physical the mines cinema appearance: the mines cinema as much as 30 percent is not 'beautiful' enough.
Worldwide, every year some four billion tons of food produced. This is ultimately consumed thirty to fifty percent. In Europe and the United States, according to the report, the half of what is being purchased, also discarded again.
With ethics can not get there. Who decides the mines cinema what is ethical and what is not. You can not get that is already evident from this discussion. The problem lies in the price of our food. We do everything to produce, cost of everything and everyone. Eating as cheaply as possible What we pay in the store has nothing to do. Production with We rob raw materials from the south. the mines cinema We ruin the environment and make the payment by the taxpayer. We buy unhealthy food and pay for an expensive the mines cinema health system. Etc etc. If these costs are all in our food, we would be careful with waste. If someone wants to do that anyway? Fine, it just takes a lot of money. French Akkermans, Thu January 10, 2013 23:02 Reply to French
I'm still also questioned in this study. They ask: Half the food purchased in Europe and the U.S. is thrown away after it is bought. Dutch figures show a different picture. The fact sheet Food waste of Agriculture talks about 50 pounds per person, 8 to 11%. (Http://www.voedselverspilling.com/images/Factsheet 20Voedselverspilling.pdf%). MilieuCentraal has about 19%. (Http://www.milieucentraal.nl/themas/milieubewust-eten/eten-kopen-op-maat). These are such big differences that should the mines cinema be there. But first looked into A few days ago we already had such a strange the mines cinema message about 51,000 pounds which was wasted by restaurants. That also could not be beat.

"As long as I work for my money and tax payment can I do what I want. If I buy food and do not like, it's about time I throw or damage it without any scruples in the bin." Totally agree. There is food here in Abundance and the farmers produce as much as you want. No problem. the mines cinema The stuff rot away and there is growing again from new. Nature itself "wasting" unimaginable amounts of food by the influence of climate, the mines cinema seasons etc. And remember the more CO2 we cram everything grows the better the air. So carts with those Hummers. Erwin Schenk, Thu January 10, 2013 21:59 in response to Donald Duck Reply to Erwin
I still wanted to share this moment. This quote comes from the book The Paradoxical Commandments by Kent M. Keith: "People who are guided by selfish motives often accuse others the mines cinema of exactly Who here this shoe fits ... Piet de Geus, Thu January 10, 2013 16:03 Reply to Piet.

"This is food that can be used to feed the growing population the mines cinema in the world uses - including those who are hungry today simply the day." Is that true? Having said that you expect at least a clue how that wasted food than at the hungry can be distributed and how you can prevent hunger. And that is the article for me in the fog because it is developed in any way. It is primarily a moral judgment. You may in the practice not go out for the feet. If you eat an apple with a place, a straight cucumber or just your fridge and eat your plate empty, none of it ends up in Africa or elsewhere where they suffer lack and poverty. the mines cinema And the leftovers were used in the kliekjesmester but that should not so the co
