Starchild: Why Malaysian kids think it's important to reduce food waste


Bethany Wang Qi Syuen, 8

World Food Day (WFD) was celebrated on Oct 16 as a special day to understand how important food is for all of us.

Food is like magic fuel for our bodies. It gives us the energy we need to play, learn, and grow, just like a car needs gas to go. Our bodies need food to function. You might be lucky to have yummy food on your plate every day, but not everyone in the world is as fortunate. WFD reminds us to be grateful for what we have and to help those who don't have enough to eat.
