 they waste half of the

 they bought. The following essay will
further
 elaborate on the reasons peoples waste
food
 and how to mitigate
this
 problem in the future.
To begin
 with, early days humans diet were based on a simple meal because the income they earned from jobs and other business was not enough to buy
food
 from stores and waste, but with the development in the job market
people
 have plenty of jobs that everybody can afford at least one cuisine from a restaurant.
Therefore
,
people
 have no idea about the amount of
food
 they are wasting or buying in order to fulfil their desires.

 because there’s a little retail market for ugly fruits and
food
, where large quantities of
food
 are wasted.
On the other hand
, to solve these two issues, the government can take the problem into their hands, where authorities can impose high taxes on
food
 which are affordable for
people
 already.
This
 can limit the wastage of cuisines in retail shops and restaurants.

product looks funky doesn’t mean it’s bad if they don’t want to consume that product there are a plethora of
people
 who are suffering in the streets without
food
, and donating
food
 for those won't cost anything. To sum up, half of the population wastes their
food
 because they earn too much and
people
 have no idea how much
food
 is wasted daily,
furthermore
 individuals try to find the perfect
food
 without flaws. The possible solutions for these problems are the government interacting with the issue and mankind should understand that perfect
food
 is not the shape and size of it.
