As I was watching the film “Dive”, I can
honestly say that I was amazed to see people dumpster diving for large amounts
of food. I have never known people to
actually dumpster dive for their everyday meals. At first it was really sad to
see these people as human beings having to dumpster dive to feed themselves and
their families. But my attention was easily diverted to the amount of food that
they were actually pulling out of the dumpsters. It was sadder to see the
pounds of wasted food they were recovering, than to see that they were actually
consuming it. This film was a real eye opener and I really enjoyed watching it.
Not only did it show people in trying times today but it was very informative
on the amounts of food wasted. I could never imagine wasting so much food on a
daily basis. As you can tell I don’t waste much food myself, but my family is
guilty of throwing away perfectly good food, just because it’s taking up room
in the fridge or pantry. After seeing the film I have decided, to one day have
my family watch it and possibly change their ways and show them that there are places
that soon to be wasted food could be taken. If it can’t be given to a shelter,
it could possibly be given to your local church that has a food pantry, or as
Mrs. Warren advised us, to your local college that participates in food
donations.
