Tonnes of tomatoes 'wasted' for fun fest in Vadodara, locals fume

[janon]

..... it happens a lot more in high Christian moral USA and Europe

Does that surprise you as well ?

Far fewer people go hungry in USA or Europe, compared to dharmic India. Food is affordable to almost everybody in the said places. Not so in India. I wouldn't start comparing with those countries to prove whatever you are trying to prove, and bringing religion into everything.

Is wasting food ever a good thing, ever excusable, in any reasonable quantum?

....hence my posts.

....hence my posts.

So, nothing short of say a life or death situation or something of great tangible importance can justify wastage of food?

Best to understand the context and the conversation before making a comment.

1. I did not claim US or Europe go hunger, I claimed the opposite.

2. US wastes 141 Trillion calories of food EACH YEAR. i.e. 1249 calories per capita PER DAY.

3. 133 billion pounds of i.e. 31 % of the food each year goes to waste in the US.

4. US wasting food is a far more serious matter than a few misguided people playing with tomatos. Especially when it buys up all the food in the world, hordes it and then wastes 31% of it just because it can.

5. If someone can blame khap panchayat for all the wrong its done and ask for its ban, why not use the same logic and ask for the ban of the Christian church for all the wrong it has done too ?

In any case, it was a straw-man designed to knock some sense into the target audience.

Nothing can justify a wanton waste of food.

LOL.....what about the thefts, rape, murders's in the land of Gujarat ?

Why only express surprise on a food fight and not of the other problems ? .........your straw-man strategy is getting boring.

Only thing it does is it forces me to argue with a fool.

Does laughing appear like crying to you ?

Morality and Ethics is related to religion, so any discussion on them cannot take place without religion.

I blame the malayali community for their actions or inactions that has led to emasculation of Hindus in kerala, not for the actions of a few dimwits. You just don't get it.

If you don't have any soft corner for xtians why does your BP go up when I mention them ?

If you are so adamant on bringing in religion my dear, please help me with the below answers as well.
What do feel about tons of liters of milk and food wasted on idol baths (If I may call it so) done almost every day on every idol in this country!!! Do you feel your heart trembling for the poor then. I know my pure Geeta conditioned -- Dharma oriented sacred heart, pains when I see all that food wasted EVERYDAY. How about you?

As long as they bought the tomatoes with their own money, there is nothing anyone can say.
