Less Is More

I can kind of relate to what the author is saying in this article. My grandparents were also raised during the great depression and they too do not beleive in wasting anything. I remember as a kid when me and my family would all gather to eat i was always told i had to eat everything on my plate before i could leave the table. Although i was brought up to never waste anything, i still find myself doing it often. I know it is wrong when there are many people in other parts of the world that have very litte if anything to eat at all. I guess as Americans we have all just grown accustomed to knowing that there will be a next meal whenever we want it to be. Many people around the world hardly ever know where and when there next meal will be. It really makes me stop and think before i throw away a plate of food still half full.
