Why do we keep wasting so much food?

FOOD is a blessing and yet we seem to waste it. Food wastage is rampant in Malaysia. Despite many believing that it is a sin to waste food, this unrestrained habit is becoming the norm.

The war in Ukraine has led to somewhat of a global food crisis. But it means nothing to many of us. Millions of people go hungry globally every night and others in poverty-stricken countries die of starvation. Closer home, many in the B40 (lower income) group are struggling to put food on the table due to the rising cost of living. In such a scenario, it is incomprehensible that many Malaysians still do not pay heed to minimising food wastage.
