This may seem like a no-brainer, but one thing I think of from time to time is that I am grateful that I always have food. I've never been in a situation where I went hungry. It's horribly sad how many people around the world go hungry each day.
One of my pet peeves is wasting food due to this fact. Many people don't even hesitate when just throwing something out when in fact it could be saved for another meal or time or given to someone else. I'm not saying to just give your half eaten sandwich to the person nearest to you at a restaurant, but sometimes things can be handled differently. Speaking of going out to eat sometimes now I order off the appetizer menu because the size of the meals are so freaking huge and I know it won't be good to heat up again. So to avoid that, I just eat a meal I know I can finish there. I know I can't work in food service and this is one of the reasons why - so much food gets wasted each day... I think I'd have a broken heart each day at work and sink into a depression of sorts. When I went to Mexico years ago the meal sizes there were perfect...! Smaller plates and good portion control. It's no wonder we in America have so many overweight. I feel like our food severed in restaurants comes out in a huge platter. It doesn't feel normal when I am among it in some restaurants.
So this is just a food related grateful feeling - post so to speak.
