Waste of Food

I recently went on a cruise.  I'll write another post later about the cruise.  The one thing I wanted to bring up was food waste.  First of all, the cruise lines have employees from around the world.  A lot come from third world countries.  The money they make goes back to families.  I was noticing that at the buffets and even dinners, lots of food was wasted.  People just grab and grab.  They don't care how much they waste.  It's probably because they paid a lot for the cruise.  I was thinking it's really sad to see so much wastage and the people that have to dump that food probably see that much food as a luxury.  Day in and day out, they have to toss food.  I wish cruise lines would find ways to curb some of that wastage.  Encourage people to grab only the food they can eat.  In dinner halls, only allow one meal at a time.  I don't think they are really worrying about it.  If they could cut down on wastage, it will save them money.  They would have more food to go around and they will not have to pay as much to dispose of the food waste.  These companies should be thinking of green opportunities.  It may cost a little up front, but it may save lots in the end.
