This was not my first such experience but it was the first when I manage to spearhead into the buffet and the first when I wasted this much and pondered upon so many of the poor chickens raised for the day, cooked, transported and then wasted. The work, the money and the energy could have been used elsewhere, maybe even the food too.

Perhaps we just need to realise we can do with less. Next time, taking from the buffet I’ll keep in mind what Quaid-e-Azam once said “Eat to live not, live to eat”.
