Think about the millions of children who cannot eat one meal a day. That food that gets thrown away would be considered delicacies to those hungry people.<\/p>\n\n<p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7546371109570049\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" align=\"justify\">When you dine at a restaurant, order just enough and if there happens to be any leftover food, parcel it and take the food home.
