Thoughts on Food

The first thing that comes to my mind whenever I see food fights on TV is:
"Sayang naman yung pag-kain!" or "That's a lot of food to 'play' with!"
Hunger has been linked to students not going to school. Hunger has also been linked to lack of motivation. It's true, who can concentrate when his or her stomach is growling, right?

So here are some ideas to help you lessen the families who are hungry everyday. Before you start, have a target recepient. You could choose a less-fortunate family. You could choose a street kid that you always see on your way to school. Just know where your good deed is going.

1. Food Chain
Collect left-over food from a fast food chain. I am sure that they have loads of food that weren't purchased and are still good. Make sure that they are in good condition. We don't want anyone getting sick! To ensure the safety, why don't you go to the restaurant just before it closes and ask if you can get the food directly from the buffet.

2. Bonding with Food
Whip up a good, but easy meal every Sunday. Then deliver it to your recepient. Ask your family to help! Aside from feeding another family, your family can get together and bond! (Wait for more details for this idea in later posts :) )

3. Food Dare
This idea is actually taken from a Dare Diary article that my fellow COC members and I took part in. It's my COC partner's idea so credits to Aya! Buy food from a fast food chain and give it directly to a street kid.
