Most of us are over weight yet we dont stop eating more than we should! We over eat and then sweat it out on the exercising machine or on the grounds; yet we shall not decide to do away with the reason for the over weight. Because of this we have a new set of professionals, related only to losing weight. We have exotic places just for losing weight and exotic doctors waiting to scalp away a bit of you. And then we have producers who produces more than what we can consume and trying to market it by any means. Then we have food authorities willing to put expiry dates on every item so that they can be thrown into the dust bin. we also have big, fat and gaudy weddings that end up with lots of food that go waste. We also have festivals after festivals which makes us to hoard food.
It is a losing game indeed! But if we look at the other side of the story, 90% of men (not to talk about the children!) in India like the one below sweat it out to have a quarter of the food that is being wasted into their stomach!

While India leads in poverty, it is not bad when it comes to obesity!
The obesity ratio stands at 12% and India comes close to the following nations: Spain: 13.1% Ireland: 13% Germany: 12.9% Portugal: 12.8% Finland: 12.8% Iceland: 12.4% India 12.10% Turkey: 12% Belgium: 11.7% Netherlands: 10% Sweden: 9.7% Denmark: 9.5% France: 9.4% Austria: 9.1% Italy: 8.50%
Though I try my best not to waste food, I still need to reduce the intake. How about you?
