Food For Thought-Love eating at a buffet ? What happens right after?

Say you go to a lovely buffet lunch or a dinner.Where the table is groaning with a delightful spread.And you love the look of it all. But even more, you love the taste of it all.. So you do, what most of us would naturally do in such circumstances. Eat just a a little bit or possibly, a lot more than you would normally. Which is fine, because it really is an exception. But have you ever thought of what happens to all that lovely looking and tasting food after that?

Well this is what I learnt recently and it really made me wake up to a new reality, one that I wasn't aware of earlier. For instance, in Oman,there is strict food and hygiene regulation since food standards of freshness, cleanliness etc are very carefully monitored by the concerned authorities.So it follows that all the food after an event, ( particularly all non veg items) are just put into big black garbage bags.Then just thrown away!

Makes me really wonder, is that too much of a good thing? Or then, how many hungry people all over the world, could fill their stomachs and get a peaceful night's sleep? Questions, questions, questions... With few, if any answers.....
