Food waste

Abstract

Have you ever gone to a buffet? Rows among rows of tables are filled with all sorts of delicacies and mouth-watering dishes waiting to be tasted. With flowing drinks and a never-ending variety of food from appetizers to main courses to desserts, the choices are endless and without doubt, there is something to satisfy everyone's palate. People fill plate after plate to the brim, hoping to stuff their stomachs as much as possible and to get a bite of everything, if possible. By the end, everyone is joyfully satisfied, awaiting the oncoming food coma to bestow them. But I'd wager that nearly no one notices the plates taken away with food still on them nor the amount of food that gets thrown away by the end of the buffet.
