In order for any individual to live, food, shelter and water is important. Of course shelter isn’t a major problem along with water, but food is something that gets wasted in billion quantities- something extremely unhealthy for us and our society. Today in India, over 160 million children go to sleep hungry and over 150 million suffer from no nourishment and malnutrition. Over 1.2 billion people earn less than Rs.1 per day- an amount that has no value in the world today. The people in India including the manufacturer companies and industries waste food worth up to Rs. 58,000 crore- an amount in which 49 million can be fed, 35 million can be nourished and the rest can survive on a daily basis. Out of this 30% goes into wasting fruits and vegetables and 25% into pulses and grains.
Personally, these are a few facts I took in mind while deciding my topic to be food wastage. Looking as the society and from social aspects, I feel that food wastage is a major problem today. Every street, lane and entrance has beggars on the street- begging for food. Children and parents roam the lonely streets at night to collect leftovers from the residential areas and toddlers are put to sleep filling their stomachs with glasses of water and excuses. Other than this, the statistics that is made out of the amount of food wasted is tremendous. Millions of people who die every year can be saved. Coming across the society, I feel that this issue should be tackled as soon as possible because it is not only affecting the people but affecting the legal citizens of our society. Out of many issues related to the society, I personally felt that food wastage was a major one which implies a major effect on the society. It is something that frequently happens in our community; everyday and every hour. Some citizens-especially the adolescent age group keeps no value for food- it is because they have ever experienced hunger and thirst. I wanted to spread awareness amongst people that don’t suffer, or bare hungry nights about this particular topic and I chose this opportunity of ad making to take out my aim. We can leave aside ‘food waste’ and ‘people suffering’ but today I feel that people have excuses to wasting food. It is this or that- no sufficiency. People should either accept their sin trying not to do it further- but should never have justifications for doing something incorrect. That is something I felt to be extremely disgusting if I had to say because food wastage is an issue that deals with so many disadvantages which affect the society. We have people suffering, garbage accumulating, pollution growing etc. the society should learn how to tackle this issue. These are a few reasons why I chose this particular topic for my advertisement and I hope to spread the thoughts that have affected me when I analyzed my society and its issues. I saw that wasting food was and is something wrong and it needs to be signified through the community.
Food wastage is something that isn’t new in any type of society. But, I think that people aren’t aware of this particular issue. If one day we wake up and have no food to feed us, the society will not be able to run and people’s reaction will be unpredictable. Socially, I think that food wastage is something that occurs daily and is something that we should take into consideration every time we sit down on the dining table to fill our stomach.
