My line of work and wasting food

As I've said before in a couple of my essays, I work at Doc Ford's as a busser. As a busser, I see my fair share of trash. In this class, we talk about how we as Americans waste a lot of food, not to mention, how we always go out to eat and mainly receive an enormous portion of food to eat as our meal. While we enjoy these huge proportions, other countries are starving and fight extremely hard for a grain of overcooked rice. For every plate I have cleaned out into the trash can, I see at least a giant speck of food on most of those plates. I also am guilty of this too, sometimes not finishing my food and giving it to the bussers' at the end of the meal to let them know I'm full. This needs to change as we keep wasting food daily and this also can damage the atmosphere as the landfills take in this huge glob of waste and deposit the gases from it into the ozone. This reminds me that I also need to finish whatever is on my plate whenever I receive because once you package leftovers, they soon become yesterday's news and in the trash.
