“Together at the table with family and friends, We thank food, For moments like these, For bringing our family together ,We thank you for everything”.

Motivation:
I wanted to write a short poem about family and friends being brought together by food because I personally have experienced lots of those moments and some have become some of my very favorite memories so that’s why.

Roxana Ismail-BeigI

“Food—the root of life, The table where we share joy, Nature’s gift to us”.

Reese Porter

St. Anthony
Des Moines, Iowa

“Leftovers forgotten, Platefuls tossed into the bin, nature weeps in vain”.

Motivation :
Because food is necessary for survival and it’s important that people know not to waste food because not everyone has access to food and water.

“Sustaining, maintaining, nurturing our mind, body and soul. Food is life.
We all need it.
Wasting is not an option.
Our food creates our community”.
