12. A Poem ‘THE MORSEL THAT GOT LEFT BEHIND’ To get it there how much effort it takes The unconsumed food, be it meat, fruit or bread Nothing short of amazing, the path it has tread Ever thought of the morsel that got left on our plates

13. Let's take the bread, so easy to throw But the wheat it comes from, took months to grow. The soil was tilled, the weeds taken out Fertilizer and nutrients were placed in the ground

14. Once the seeds were planted, it was important to check That the plants were free from disease and insects Many months later came harvest time When the wheat heads 'nodded' then came cutting time

15. Then came the shaking out of the heads The kernel was separated from all of the rest Once the removal of impurities was done The wheat was broken down, so that separation could be done

16. From coarse particles to flour also took time It was again a long process to bleach and refine

17. From the mill to the markets was no short road From there, to the factory that bakes bread and rolls

18. It's a lot of hard work, all down the line Not to mention the money and all of that time

19. So let's think again when we're tempted to leave That morsel of food - what a waste it would be! Be it veggies, fruit, meat, how it got to your plate It's a similar road like that bread had to take

20. It's such a shame that others somewhere Are starving to death, while we don't care

21. So you and I, let's make a pact Leaving food on our plates - No More Of That. * * * *
