Ever thought of what happens next?

Say you go to a lovely buffet lunch or a dinner.

Where the table is groaning with a delightful spread,

And you love the look of it all.

But even more, you love the taste of it all..

So you do, what most of us would naturally do in such circumstances.

Eat just a a little bit/or possibly, a lot more than you would normally.

Which is fine, because it really is...an exception.

But have you ever thought of what happens to all that lovely looking and tasting food after that?

Well this is what I learnt today, and it really made me wake up.

To a new reality.... one that I wasn't aware of earlier.

Here in Oman, we have very strict food and hygiene regulations.

Because food standards of freshness, cleanliness etc are very carefully monitored by the concerned authorities.

So that all the food after an event, ( particularly all non veg items) are just put into big black garbage bags.And binned/trashed/thrown away.

Making me wonder, is that sometimes too much of a good thing?

Or then, how many hungry people all over the world, could fill their stomachs and get a peaceful night's sleep?

Questions, questions, questions,
