WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WASTE!

 WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WASTE!

  


  Insects on the dishes, livestock prices rise in a straight line towards the top, millions and millions people die of hunger, all the planet's organisms are thirsty,....is that what you are expecting? Our future children suffering, best friends suffering, family suffering, and the world suffering. Why don't we stop it if we know that all this will happen? If you want to help avoid this terrible situation, you should start by stopping food waste at your home in 3 easy steps, such as organizing your food, conserving it properly, and eating all of it .


   In homes, we notice that many times at dinner or at lunch, a lot of food which is not eaten goes to waste, these foods which instead of being wasted, could have had a better conclusion. If we organize ourselves and buy enough food but not surplus for us, we don’t waste our food. How can we organize our shopping list then? We can firstly write down the foods that we are going to buy on a paper or phone etc., check with our family members that it’s enough or not,  checking if the homemaker is really sure of herself, then go to the shop and buy the foods in a specific amount that the family can consume. So, we should plan meals that all the members within our family like and will eat. In this way that food can be organized properly. (Keating)

  
If we think that sometimes we could get hungry if we don’t buy enough food, then we can conserve the food  properly. A major part of foods today can be conserved in places such as the freezer or a basement with cool conditions, which can slow down the molecules of the foods and increase their durability. Other foods as fruits and vegetables can be conserved by drying, canning, fermenting.(Reducing) If we store food properly it will not spoil and we can eat it instead of throwing it away. 



  Another way of reducing the foods is to eat by cooking with leftovers. (Reducing) This way is really easy, if we know how to cook. However, it can also help us to improve our cooking skills; for example we can use them to make any kind of food, we imagine and discover new foods by combining several foods with different flavours. For example, myself at home, I usually find traditional Italian food such as spaghetti. I cook them in normal ways by putting the tomato sauce, but I then cook some eggs and meats apart and eat them together. It’s really delicious. Perhaps we can discover new foods which can get famous all around the world!

Now because of a worldwide disease, foods are becoming still lesser since many countries go to lockdown and people are forced to stay in their homes. (Lyons) What we can do in homes for reducing  food other than conserving and eating is to call for other people to start saving and helping the world: let themselves and people enjoy life and foods for a longer period of time. It is true that we cannot stop food waste, but we do have the power to unite our hearts and minds to slow it down and allow food for everyone. One thing that makes us humans special is our capacity of speech, of convincing, persuading, and advertising others. That's also what makes us one.

    Hi Enrico, I think your draft is good. I think the title is a bit unclear at first, but after reading it again I find it creative. I find your introduction very convincing because you give me a clear thought of the future you think there will be. I like the solutions, especially the last because I find it unusual as an advice, but very important. Following the last advice would be a really good thing because it would inform and, maybe, convince people to stop wasting food. I, also, like the pictures, but I think they needed to be bigger because they could result unclear at first. Overall it is a good presentation that gave good advice and, initially, even transmitted an emotion and a vision to me.

It is Time for a Change Have you ever considered how many people are suffering from hunger around the world ? If we had reduced the amount of food we consumed by just 25 %, there would have been sufficient food for everyone who goes to bed with an empty stomach (Lyons) . We can make a huge difference by stopping food waste in our homes. You can make a difference as well!  Be a part of this change. There are lots of ways to prevent food waste at home such as making shopping lists, becoming expert about storage and reviving  food that is on its way out.  First of all, you can start by planning your weekly shopping list. In order to make it effective there are some details that should be taken into account. For instance, you should think about what you are going to cook, the ingredients you need and how many times you will eat out during the week. You also need to check your fridge and cupboard before going shopping, in order to avoid overbuying (Reducing Wasted Food at Hom...

  Contribute to change Climate change is expected to reduce crop yields by more than 25 percent, and by 2050 our global population will increase to 9 billion. This means we won't have enough food for all of us and we need to look for more alternative food sources. But are there any other food sources other than meat and vegetables? Yes, there are many actually. One way to substitute meat is eating insects, because they combat obesity, will fight malnutrition, and they are more environmentally friendly. Firstly, a huge benefit of eating insects is that it will combat obesity.  Insects contain much higher nutritional values than meat, such as healthy fats, protein, calcium, iron. In addition to this, the insects are lower in carbohydrates (Whiteman).  Further study has been conducted and they have concluded that insect consumption, or entomophagy, is just as nutritious as meat, and possibly more nutritious. Since meat is closer to the human DNA meat can give you similar dis...

Meat substitutes or alternatives We are finishing food! Earth is having bad consequences and many people are dying; however there are many things we can do, like for example  changing our diet. One of the causes of the problems earth is having is the food we eat and waste. We need to accept the fact that soon there will not be food for everyone on our planet. We can't continue living as if nothing is happening. We should begin to eat less meat and more meat substitutes because they are healthier, taste as good as meat, and have fewer negative effects on the earth. The question many of you are asking at this moment is: Are meat alternatives really healthier than meat? The answer to this question is not a simple answer such as yes and no. It is more complex because it depends on other factors such as how it is cooked and what type of meat or meat substitute we consider (Berry). For example if we consume meat substitute that is high in sugar, salt, saturated fats, or processed ingredi...
