Wastage Of Food• Despite the providence, many people of the world have to satisfy

their hunger with just a crumb of bread to eat whole day while we the students of KUHS are misusing our opportunity and wasting food.

• We should know about the importance of food and also know the harmful disease we might get if we do not get proper diet.

• We the students who are the future and the pillars of our nation must know the consequences of wasting food and the problems we might face in future, we also must make others aware about wasting food to make better future.
