Africans are starving and the Brits are throwing food away.
 | There are around 2.6 million people starving in Africa, and yet the average Brit is throwing away food (*statistic from The World Food Programme (WFP) ) . |
“We are very greedy when we go and shop. Our eyes are bigger than stomachs in homes and in restaurants. ” and also that the idea that the food is cheap makes us throw it away. what a waste !!.
This world is really very complex. Some have too much and they throw it away, whilst others dont even have the means to even have just a basic simple meal a day. Its really pathetic.
The cost of transporting the food to Africa is not trivial. That is the issue! You must have the right resources at the right place! and then of course, you must make sure the food doesn’t get spoilt en route.
You see, it is only the desert people in Africa that have reason to be starving. Nigeria, for example, probably produced enough to feed it’s people (or at least is capable of that).
