I was recently looking at some possible topics for my papers the other day, and I came across an article that sort of caught my eye. The article was about how much food grocery stores waste. The article said that almost 6 million tons of food is dumped annually. Today’s economy is rough. Everyone knows it. A lot of people are having hardships now. I do not know why grocery stores would throw away all of the food that they have that needs to be rotated or that is close to the expiration date. There are a lot of people out there that are struggling to put food on the table for their families, and I think that more grocery store chains should realize this and do something about it. Grocery stores have the resources to help these families who are in need food. I do not see why some of them decided not to help people in need. There are also many soup kitchens that would love to have the extra food to give to people who are in need. Grocery stores are not the only ones that waste countless amounts of food a year. Many restaurants also end up throwing away tons of food that could be donated to different forms of charity. This just upsets me, because these are the places that could help others out and many of them do not take the time to do it. People would be better off if grocery stores and restaurants would help out people in need by donating their unwanted food.
