    I have learned another lesson, and it has to do with wasting just like the OP. Normally when I am chopping vegetables or if I drop some food on the counter, I always just toss it. You know like chopping potatoes and a chunk flies off the board. I have come to realize more than ever that every single drop of food is absolutely precious.

    I no longer clean my counters with toxic cleaners, just simply use soap and water. If anything falls on it, I pick it up and use it. I just think I have a deeper appreciation for food now. I think of all the times I tossed out a chunk of something that fell on the counter. I think of all the people in the world who are starving and would give anything for that one bite of food.

    I really think I can live differently after this. If my grandmother would have still been here, she would have told me about the times during the depression. I feel like I understand her a little bit deeper now. I mean I have always done my best not to waste, but this is of a different level.

    My appreciation for every bite of food is intense. I am eating a lot less just so the food lasts longer and when I eat something that I really needed, naturally I get tears in my eyes. I often look up at my loved one and he has the same tears in his eyes. The body just seems to have a reaction of deep appreciation for ever single bite.
    We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.
