The spoiled american

more from Chefs against hunger:
I've been a chef now for three years, and in that time I have worked in countless kitchens. Of all the places I have worked from ski resorts, to private golf clubs and gated communities there has been one common problem and theme among the kitchens and that is they all waste mass amounts of food. In some circumstances laws prohibit unused and unwanted food from being distributed to those in need. Perfectly good food that could be transported and distributed is instead being thrown away. I don't think people within the industry put much thought into it,the food we serve like many things in our country becomes just another certainty which makes the value in our eyes seem anything but. I'm looking to get people together to help change this through whatever steps necessary. We may be spoiled americans, but its time we stop over indulging ourselves and reach out to those in need. With the way the economy and job market is currently, sometimes unforeseeable circumstances have put alot of people in situations they never would have expected to be in. I always look at it in the tense that if I were in this situation I would want someone to reach out so that compels me to. What might compel you?
