There are around 2.6 million people starving in Africa, and yet the average Brit is throwing away food (*statistic from The World Food Programme (WFP) ) . Around one third of food grown for human consumption in the UK ends up in the rubbish bin, new figures reveal.

So why are people starving in Africa, and people throwing away food into bins in the Uk? well they said their reason was the following and I quote that

“We are very greedy when we go and shop. Our eyes are bigger than stomachs in homes and in restaurants. ” and also that the idea that the food is cheap makes us throw it away. what a waste !!.

This world is really very complex. Some have too much and they throw it away, whilst others dont even have the means to even have just a basic simple meal a day. Its really pathetic.
