Do not throw any food away

Cultivate an attitude of mindfulness and gratitude for your food today. You can do so in three simple steps.

Cultivate an attitude of mindfulness and gratitude for your food today. You can do so in three simple steps:

1) As you prepare/select your meals today, think about it: Only take as much as you actually need.

2) Pause for a moment before eating, either with those with whom you are sharing a meal, or on your own, and give thanks for the many people who have worked to bring this meal to you. Consider those around the world who have not been so fortunate and go hungry today.

3) Eat everything on your plate (it won't be hard since you selected your food mindfully!) OR take and finish it later.
