Such a waste
I know I promised a happy post, but that will just have to wait.
The church gets all this left over bread from (I think) Brumby's (really the place dosen't matter), so much so that even after giving away like 3 big bags full and then filling the freezer at the church we're still having to throw some away.
There are people starving in the world and we're throwing away bread!
Why to they waste so much flour and water etc. in making so much excess bread just so our lazy society and walk into a shop and there will be what they want. Couldn't it all be sent to people who actually need it to survive and we come up with some kind of pre-ordering system to reduce excess waste of good resources.
When will we ever get over this our country/ family etc.must be fat and completely satisfied before I can ever give anything to anyother needy nation or person. We have the resouces/ technology to transport ingredients such as flour yet all we do is use it for our own selfish desires- ' do we really need coffee from Brazil as much as they might need flour for our thrown out bread'? I'm not going to pretend I have any understanding of the politices involved because I really don't understand any of it- other than the whole pleasing the voters by trying to satisfy the majorities desires (which by the way is much easier if we're all taught to be clones and that we desire the same things).
Is the lack of spelling ability in our schools really important when so many kids have never been into a school, is the price of petorl such a big issue when many out there can't even walk- you watch any of those current afair programs or even our local news stories- and as much as they 're important issues- there are so many more important issues in the world that because we don't have to look at or acknowledge them every day they become our last priority- lucky if they even get any left overs- cos' ya never know we may just need that extra piece of bread, and hold on to it until it's too late and we throw it out.
Once again I can see a problem but not a clear solution, and I'm just as bad as the rest of us in this- but if you know anyone living in Victoria, Aust who could do with some 1 day old bread on a Thurs morning- please let met know, it'd make me feel a lot better (damn us humans with our selfishness :))
