I have to credit my mum for sending me this email (thanks mum!). Being Italian, we love our food so good. We dine like kings but sadly we also waste a lot of food. I'm not sure how current the above figures are but the sentiment couldn't be more accurate. The question is: Do you think the above is about the Aboubakar family in Chad not having enough or the western families having too much ?? Relate it to your family's expenditure and ask yourself: what are you going to do about it?
