The photo above is my lunch date with my son, I love going to his school whenever I can to bring him lunch and just have a quick chat with him. I can see how much he enjoys it and that really makes me happy.
One thing I noticed whenever I go to his school since he was in kindergarten is how much kids waste food. Not only the cafeteria food but also the food their parents/love-ones prepare for them. My son brings his own food from the very beginning coz he loves his food hot or at least warm and I ALWAYS tell him that if he cant finish his food make sure he don't throw it away. He knows that part of my strong opinion about it is because I have experienced starvation growing up and not knowing when is my next meal going to be so it is important that he values food and the effort that goes with it.
I noticed that some kids have NO regards when they throw their food, I even asked a few kids why just throw it and they say because he wont eat it (they just eat the candy/dessert and then done). I also asked if their mom/dad/whoever prepares it knows that they throw their lunches away and the answer is a quick NO as well. This makes me think if this kids know how much effort, money, time and love those foods comes with and they just throw it like it doesn't really matter. It baffles me and makes me wonder if my son does the same. I asked my son and he says he will NEVER throw food unless I told him so. He is now learning that whatever we prepare for him is not just a food but it comes with responsibility.
It really breaks my heart coz I know there are so many kids/human/animals who are starving every hour and this perfectly food just go to garbage. I cant imagine how this person's effort to fix all that, even write "i love you" notes, just got thrown away. What if that family's budget is so tight that despite that she/he made that food to make sure his kids got something to eat and have no idea what is going on.
I have no answers! I wish I know their parents/caregiver and tell them what is going on and maybe they can talk to their kids BUT maybe that is too much going to a business I shouldn't be part of.
How about you? What will you do? Do you know what is going on on your kid's lunch? Do you talk to your kids why it is important to never waste food? Are you a good example of it? What do you do to make sure your kids eat their foods and not waste it?
I would really love to hear your thoughts about this and learn from you as well.
Have a great day!
