If you don’t calculate the price of every meal you eat💵 or count the apples🍎 your family consumes, consider yourself fortunate. For millions, healthy, nutritious food is an unaffordable luxury.🍲 In 2022, 9.2% of the global population—around 735 million people—faced chronic hunger (FAO). This means that while some enjoy nutrient-rich meals, millions rely on cheaper, less nutritious alternatives, worsening health issues. Food Waste in Wealthier Nations In richer countries, excess fresh produce, bakery goods and frozen food often go to waste due to overstocking. Supermarkets encourage consumers to buy more than they need, leading to wastage both in stores and homes, with discarded food filling landfills. In developing countries, overproduction adds pressure on farmers and ecosystems, as they try to meet both domestic and international market demands. Fertilisers and chemicals are used excessively to meet this demand, further harming the environment. The Ripple Effect of Mindful Consumption 👇🏽 What if we could change this? If the wealthy consumed more mindfully, it would create a ripple effect: • Farmers could reduce overproduction, easing the burden on the environment. • Transportation costs would lower, meaning food prices could decrease for everyone. • Healthy food would become more accessible for lower-income populations, improving global nutrition. On World Food Day, we need more than just awareness. We need action. Here’s how you can help: 1. Consume mindfully and reduce waste. 2. Buy only what you need. 3. Educate others on the impact of food waste and encourage conscious consumption. 4. Share this message with decision-makers—governments, supermarkets, corporations. It’s time for reforms that prioritise growing healthy, organic food and ensure it's affordable for all. By changing our habits today, we can help provide decent, nutritious meals for everyone tomorrow.

How Much is Your Meal Really Worth? Every morning, we share our breakfast with our house help. This morning, she ate a breakfast of eggs, idli and a warm mushroom salad(with coloured peppers, string beans and sweetcorn kernels). But I started to wonder—how many in the low-income group can afford this kind of meal? 🥚🥗 Take a look at your grocery bill. Nutrient-rich foods like fruits and vegetables are at the top of the price list, while low-nutrient staples like flour and rice are the cheapest. Why is it that millets, a traditional healthy grain, are more expensive than all-purpose flour? 🍚 It’s a clear indicator: the healthier the food, the higher the price. If you don’t have to count how many apples your family eats in a week, consider yourself fortunate. 🍎 But the reality for many is different. This World Food Day, let’s shift our focus to sharing nutritious meals with those around us—especially the people who work with us. Ask yourself: Do they eat at least one fruit a day? 🍏 If not, let’s educate and help them access healthier food choices. Healthy food should be a right, not a privilege. 🌍💚 💬 Share this post to spread the word about the importance of healthy, accessible meals for all. Together, we can start conversations that lead to real change. #WorldFoodDay #HealthyForAll #FoodForThought #EatHealthyShareHealthy #FoodEquity #HealthyEating #NutritionAwareness
