Tossing out food is clearly a waste of money honey      maybe even immoral, not to donate would be a shame               feed Gods creatures, somebody very nice O' good idea, put your money where your mouth is, none to blame    Think farmers struggle with food loss long before it gets to us all            well we need to do a better job of redistributing food,              cooking well, so we save what we can't eat most,          by serving, ordering smaller portions is food for thought              Now water ends up back in our atmosphere,     doesn't mean it'll return to a place from whence it came      think about hungry folks around our hemisphere dear,    or our own critters about our house here, as they come              freshwater resources are diminishing fast agriculture is already our world's biggest user of freshwater             Meat, requires more water in its production first, animals devour so much feed that in turn has to be grown with water                O’ freshwater resources are diminishing fast,                         just as demand for them a rises     for hungry, thirsty millions joining this global population so rapidly My Dear ‘pray tell’ we need to rethink our habits, for our food is; Well, swell          Ay! “you also may be creating extra greenhouse gas emissions                                 by sending food to a landfill”
