So much food
Almost unlimited choices
It’s a feast fit for a King
But are they fresh
Or mainly processed?
Imagine the efforts
To plant, collect, and to process
To serve and to clean up
And the thousands of miles
The carbon footprint?
This buffet spread
Fit for a King
Did you pause to think
Of the cost to the planet
Or if this is sustainable?
So much food
Left on so many plates
So much waste
And being repeated in many places
Almost everywhere?
Dateline:
8am at a Hotel Chain
Surveying the Breakfast Buffet Spread
And reflecting on ‘Save the Planet’
