I was at a meeting for work on Wednesday and they provided us with lunch. They got a bunch of individual subs from some catering company. They got enough food for 50 people I would guess. I went up for two subs even, and still the organizers were trying to get me to eat thirds. This was only lunch and they had already provided us with donuts for breakfast.
This guy sitting next to me went up for four trips and said his logic was, "There are starving people all over the world, I should eat me, and not waste this food." How is you gorging yourself to almost being sick going to help feed the starving in the world? So if you eat more, you get so full you forget about the starving people everywhere? Its not like this food we don't eat will magically make its way to a third world country and feed the hungry. Even if it did make it to those who need it, wouldn't you want to eat less than?
People have been saying for years, and often tell their kids, that they should eat up because there are so many starving people in the world. To me this logic is asinine, and makes no sense. I agree that the world's hunger problem is a huge problem, but instead of gorging ourselves because we don't want to waste any food, how about we don't spend so much money on so much food, and instead send money and food to those who need it.
