In fact, i cannot understand why they waste vegetables and fruits for carving, neither can we eat such creations nor is it hygienic to have food that is left exposed for long hours. So much salad items are left, for generally nobody is interested in eating them, when they have been invited for the wedding feast, it just for show so much wastage.<br />It is true we all like to taste the various delicacies of food, but why pile everything in one plate, and later waste them because we cannot finish them.

For the daughter's upcoming birthday, one of the things I've decided to do with her is to take her to the local church where they feed the homeless one day every month. I've been to a couple of sessions, and it is such a humbling experience. She clearly needs to understand it better even though she is very young.Shachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008713817905152623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-34768717214744636472013-07-15T06:24:39.301-07:002013-07-15T06:24:39.301-07:00Such a valuable lesson you learnt that day, Asha a...Such a valuable lesson you learnt that day, Asha and it is valid and and important to follow, more so in today's times. It is so gross to see heaped plates during weddings, hotel buffets... why cant they go for a second helping instead of having a mountain of food in the plate and then not eating it. Wasting food is not a part of our value system too.Shilpa Garghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016927627801620377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-49067716950735172812013-07-15T05:06:34.892-07:002013-07-15T05:06:34.892-07:00Thank you for the video link.
