This photograph can be frequently seen alongside display boards ”Do not waste food”. This poignant photo won the pultizer prize in 1994. The photo depicts that the vulture is waiting for the child to die, and the child is indeed longing for a bit of food in order to survive. This photo has left lasting impressions on millions of people and have also urged many to take up the resolution of not to waste food.
Now there is yet another fact that will urge few more millions as not to waste food at any cost. A charity organization in Pakistan is feeding 40000 people a day, who have no means to pay for even one meal a day. The organization states that the situation has gone worse since the recession has struck, because more people are flooding into the food distribution centres as their wages cannot afford even a meal per day.
If its almost 40000 people affected by famine in one country, the number of people affected by famine all over the globe goes countless. Lot of organizations have come into action to take care of the food that goes wasted during parties or functions. They indeed hand over the wasted food to people who are waiting in queues to get one free meal a day, which is almost their only source of food.
