Imagine, if you will...

8 billion people on this planet, with approximately 7 billion starving across the world...

Farmers being told to waste and bury food, that the supermarkets agent's say are not looking aesthetically pleasing to their eyes.and now n some states and countries they are told to water the crops less.

We could stop world hunger over night, if farmers were allowed to sell instead of being forced to bury, which will also reduce the cost and higher prices.

It is all well and good, to use apps like Olio etc, as a means to prevent food waste, yet many do not need the extra food for themselves, in contrast to many who need the food for survival.

Many folk on apps like Olio that collect food from the FWH's do not need the food, as they can afford to buy their own.

Whereas there are many folk trying to get food to survive, yet they are met with delays when placing requests, due to adverts, advertising Olio, an app that they are already in, unless they pay a subscription to remove such adverts.

Yet there still be a time delay after so many requests for food are made regardless of paid subscription or not.

There are homeless folk, and folks who have roofs over their head, equally suffering everyday, due to lack of food etc.

Yet bureaucratic red tape, say members are only permitted to only get up to 100 food items per month on Olio.

Plus if it's past use by date, but perfectly good, yet members are not allowed to distribute food items past the use by date of perfectly fit for consumption.

whereas some members justify their greed by saying things like, at least is has not gone to landfill.

FYI:

I put a shorter version of this blog on Olio, and within 15 minutes it was removed, which speaks clear volumes, of hitting the truth to those in greed rather than those in actual need.

What suggestions do you have from experience and or observation, can you come up with to please help improve this situation...??

This is where where you will find tips and advice on how to make sure you get to food eat, before you get the feeling of being hungry.

I witnessed an altercation started by a taxi driver, for [Veezu] for not turning up on time to pick up children in the evening from their recreation event.

The taxi driver claimed he turned up then left as no-one came out of the building on time.

I was there and we all left on time.

Male taxi driver gave verbal abuse to a woman who is the managment of the recreation event, in front of the children he was allocated to pick up.

Here are a few things, i have put together to ask, when ordering a taxi, and or uber and or getting a taxi, and or uber on the fly, and before getting into the vehicle

1. Are the driver[s] DBS checked, if yes, ask for proof of DBS check, if no, or don't know what you mean, walk away and get another taxi, and or uber.
2. Have you female driver[s] to transport my child[ren] or vulnerable person[s], is yes ask question one [1] specifically for female driver[s].
3. What is your firms minium wait time for pick up, whilst waiting for passenger[s].
4. What is the fare from your location to destination, so i can make sure i have the right money.

also and very importantly;

Take a photgraph or video of taxi driver, before you attempt to get into the taxi, if the driver goes off on one about it, walk away and call another taxi, no matter if you have to wait, your safety is the utmost importance.

Whereby you have a child[ren] or vulnerable person[s] traveling on their own using taxi, and or uber, teach them to record the conversation with the driver[s]
