Hunger or Fashion!!!

Debating on Food and Culture has a major impact on the contemporary society, especially among youths and elites. Though we call food as a basic need of human, the current trend is slowly shifting the concept of food as a hobby and pleasure. Youths feel proud to brand themselves as ‘Food Freak’, who does not actually understand the depth of seriousness in being so.

When we calculate the poverty line of India, the core calculation is done in terms of food scarcity, followed by shelter. A recent study has witnessed a pathetic point that there are roughly about 40 million people are suffering from food scarcity. Controversially, the same study breaks the ice with a disgusting and shameful result that Indians waste around 5025 tonnes of food, year by year. It is shameful for every Indian that though our country ranks World’s third position in agricultural exporting, we face hunger and tears constantly.

Huge number of foreign firms has come to down to make profit through food business, whereas the true Indians still suffer for their essential amenities. One single concept that fuels this entire scarcity is ‘Eating for Fashion’ or ‘Eating for Hunger’. Today, major half of elites and youths see eating as a concept of fashion, instead of the basic hunger instinct. Going to a restaurant and ordering for more than what you can actually eat is equal to a crime. When 1000 people are suffering in hunger in front every hotel and other outlets, how are we going to justify ourselves in seeing eating as a fashion and image identity?

Some people keep on ordering foods in restaurants just to while away the expected time of their outing. Some others order foods just for enjoying the taste of the dish, even without knowing what it actually is. The actual reality confirms that there are few folks who end up eating rotten food, to make them survival of the fittest.

Remedies that can be done:

1. Respect food and thank God for the food he has given us.
2. Place your orders as per your hunger level, do not place surplus orders.
3. Do not waste food, either at home or restaurant.
4.If what you have ordered for you seems to be more than what you actually eat, please do not leave off by just paying your bill, and leaving the food in the table itself. Ask the waiter to pack the leftover food, so that you can lend to people whom you see that they are in need of food for their survival. Kindly do not hesitate, as you are the owner of the remaining food, too.
5.Teach your kids, the essentiality of food and make them realise that food should not be wasted.

6. Cultivate eating habits right from childhood.
7.Donate in form of foods, than as cash.


After all, all that we do in life is to meet the food needs of life, even thieves stole for meeting his self and his families eating needs. Save food!!! Save lives!!!
