Hunger: a Karma
Sometimes I wonder why is there hunger and famine in certain
parts of the word and in others there is such an abundance that good food has
to be thrown out.
It has to be karma on a national level, and karma on an
individual level, especially if the country in which the person suffering from hunger lives, is prosperous such as many western countries.
Why Suffer Hunger Though
Karma works according to duality (flip to the opposite from
the opposite reference point). If we are suffering from hunger it is because we deprived others of food and or we in disdain, disposed of good food for
petty reasons.
Not Wasting Food
Not wasting food starts with knowing your own eating
capacity and knowing the eating capacity of your guests. Put just enough on
your plate and cook just enough for your guests. Otherwise leftovers and leftovers will be the order of the day and then when we can’t stomach anymore dried up turkey to the bin it will have to go.
Food Rescue
A new movement started in the UK called Food Rescue. This group
of people have set up a system in several super markets (Woolworths in Australia
have adopted it too now) where the good food that would end up in the big
dumpsters at the back of the supermarket is now being distributed to those who
are in need. That is great! I am glad that more and more countries are
doing this now because that means less national karma related to food shortages
and hunger.
