I am seriously having issues with the so soon remake. Its not time to do a remake AND there is only ONE true Karate Kid. Who can replace Ralph as Daniel-son or Johnny. The flick looks good but this is no Karate Kid! Plus I agree - China is NOT where Karate came from!
I am a lead server in a higher end restaurant. Our portions are very large, in fact by healthy diet standards each one of our dinner portions are equal to two meals and our lunch portions are equal to one and a half meals.
At the end of every meal I serve, if the guests haven't finished I offer to box the food, I can't tell you how many times my guests say they don't want to box up the food and I have to throw away more than half of their entree. At the end of each day, because of certain health codes, we through out enough perfectly good food to serve around 40-50 people. I can't believe it! Every time I look at all the food we through away I think about how much someone else could use that meal.
The issue here is not so much giving leftover food to people its changing our concept of consumption. Its asking the haves to challenge their thinking to step outside of themselves and consider the have nots. It's realistically changing our individual amount of consumption and waste so that we impact all of creation (humanity, animals and the ecosystem) for the good.
People come out to my restaurant, drop $30-40 a plate, throw away half the food and leave... oh how I would like to change that! Think about how things would change if we, the servers, challenged our guests to give their leftover meals to the guy on the street begging for money. Look at our world...oh, how that could be an element of helpful change?
