The Food Wastage in Indian Marriages and the Right to Food versus the Fundamental Duty of Sustainable Consumption

Altering notions of food: From basic stipulation to commercialization of food system All human history attests that happiness for man, — the hungry sinner! — since Eve ate apples, much depends on dinner. Since time immoral human beings has been struggling to satisfy their need for food. The urge to satisfy their hunger has transformed the ways of fetching their meals. The transformation took place from time to time and from society to society. From hunting to invention of plow, from simple agriculture to dawn of agricultural equipments, all have directly affected the food production on earth amongst homo-sapiens and ultimately the entire food system. The man who was at one point of time simply a hunter gradually became a consumer in the industrialized society. To successfully navigate the future of consumer’s right to food, we must first gain an understanding of how we got here. What follows is a brief and simplified overview of the history of the food system. It has been estimated by the paleoanthropologists that Homosapiens developed to modern human beings about 150,000 years ago. They lived a nomadic life, searching for food as hunters. They had been hunting wild animals and consuming their flesh as food. The wild animals included prehistoric mega fauna like mammoths, wooly rhinos and giant elk.
