You may read hundreds of facts and figures about the problem of food shortage and wastage globally. This might leave you confused what these have to do with you at an individual level and how are you going to proceed with solving these larger than life problems. 

Maybe this is the time to rethink our actions in terms of food wastage beyond the traditional way of putting extra food in the dustbin. Maybe it's a good time to comprehend how we are involved in this grim activity of food wastage that we don't have a consciousness of even realizing that it's a problem. We are involved in some form or other of throwing food around, whether its merely smearing cake on someone's birthday to full-fledged food fights. This expression of food as a "weapon" to unleash your emotions needs to be understood as problematic and we need to normalize the fact that this isn't normal. We can't go on to solve larger food security issues when this is clearly a choice we make. We need to stop glorifying food fights as a method of amusement. 

Take a pledge against never throwing food around #throwingfoodaintfun
