we receive this food

“We receive this food in gratitude to all beings Who have helped to bring it to our table, and vow to respond in turn to those in need with wisdom and compassion.” – Buddhist Blessing

My Thoughts:

With all the food waste taking place, it’s hard to imagine just how many people really follow up to the Buddhist. I mean let’s take a look at companies out there like the hospitals or studios. With the amount of food that they throw in the trash, they could feed thousands of people. However, I do understand their point of view too because if someone gets sick of off their food, they can get sued. Sure, this is an expected behavior, but I do believe that there should be a law that says you can’t sue over that.

Food Sue

Sueing over food just doesn’t any logical sense. If you’re not in the point of being to eat a trash food, then don’t eat it. And if you are, chances are that you still won’t get sick over the food, but over the living circumstances. Being homeless is really dirty if you think about it. All of the tasks taken place for a homeless person can cause many sorts of sickness. You might just wonder that it’s not the food, but the living lifestyle of the person that’s causing the person to be sick.

I just think there should be no sue taking place over a person eating food from a trash. As long as the food wasn’t hand given to the person, then it’s technically the persons problem for eating it. Which you might now understand why they throw the food in trash and not donate it.
