SUSTAINABLE TABLE In Africa it has been very difficult to have sustainable table meal, not only sustainable but also balanced diet. I remember when I was a kid my family used to eat bread, chapatti, vitumbua and other such kind of things in the morning, noon we usually ate ugali, and night we ate rice this was our daily food schedule. Sometimes in holidays we used to eat something different from our daily schedule. This seems as sustainable table since less carbon emitted, less use of energy like eating of meat and industrial food, but was actually not the balanced diet. All over the world today, people are thinking about having good family and healthy one, thus they try their best to invest a lot of money in ensuring they are healthy enough mentally and physically, without knowing that they can be healthier today without having tomorrow to live for, due to unsustainable. Environmentally, the use of artificial fertilizers with lot of chemicals led to land pollution, water and air pollution, as result these issues led to the climate change. This is unsustainable table. The processing of food nowadays have been very dangerously to our health and environment, since food are packed in the plastics added with chemicals which after consuming it add the trash to the environment |
