and another is this, a dying world.
Why is it that this is happening? It is because Filipinos don't have discipline. It is also because Filipinos have a discipline of "takaw mata", or in other words, they think they can eat everything but instead, the rice gets wasted. That's why most of the rice gets wasted for nothing.
According to FNRI (Food and Research Institute), they claim that Filipinos waste 3 tablespoons of rice per day. It means that 9 grams are wasted per day and if you put it together, 3.3 kilos of rice are wasted in a year per person. If you calculate it, it is equivalent to 23 million per day or 8.4 Billion Pesos in a year.
That's why in the congress, there is a proposal that is offered by Agapito Guanlao (Butil Partylist) that the wasted rice must decrease. Another proposal is that every food chain must serve only half of the rice or so-called half rice. It is because most of the rice won't be wasted.
I agree with it because if this law is passed, the rice won't be wasted. It will also benefit the poor because they can buy half-rice because it doesn't cause much money. It will also lessen the obesity in the Philippines, no one will waste rice, and it can help save a lot of money. It will lessen the hungry and it will feed people to their satisfaction. So! Half Rice is the solution!
