Spend Wisely .....Part 2 - Food

That's right, food price also rise. How can we spend wisely on food? No doubt food is our necessity, we can't live without food.

I am not asking you to cut down the food consumption. You can still eat as usual. What I would like to disucss here is NOT TO WASTE FOOD.

That's right, not to waste food. Some of the people like to choose the food they like to eat and left the one less delicious behind. Take a family as example, mother cook dinner for a family which comprise of four members, father, mother, brother and sister. With three dishes and a soup, this should be more than enough for the family of four, but sometime the brother don't like to eat vege, sister eat less rice and meat becuase want to maintain the body shape, with all the food cooked, if they don't finish it, the left over food is either kept for tomorrow or end up in the bin. If always eating left over food, its not good for the health as well. The best is to enjoy and finish the food they it is first cooked. If no one like to eat the left over food, the only place the left over food will landed is the bin. This is really causing wastage on food.

Farmer hardly plant the padi and harness the rice. When the rice reach your house, you cook it and eat, if you can't finish, you just throw it away, this is really wasting the effort of a farmer. On top of that, nowadays the harness not really doing well, causing the price hike, we have to stop wasting it to stop this bad cycle.

The best way to solve this problem is to plan your meals and enjoy it fully. If you are not going home for dinner, do inform your mother or the one who cook your meal, at least they can cut down the portion when they cook.

If you are not cooking your own meal, when you order food from restaurant, order food that enough for your stomach, not to order accessive food. If you can't finish it, you are wasting the food again.

Remember, cutting the wastage is better than increasing the plantation farm. Cut the wastage will definitely save your pocket.
