With regard to the article "Why do we waste millions of meals in Ramadan?" (July 3), this has become a habit in Saudi Arabia. There is a need to change and use the money for better education or charity work for needy people, instead of wasting food. Mohammed Nisaruddin, Online response One of the reasons why food is wasted in Saudi Arabia is that the number of available activities for the general public is limited. Wasting food is a social, religious and moral crime which includes overeating. In Saudi Arabia people should develop other aspects of their personal and social life through education so that personalities are richly developed and resources are channeled in a positive manner.
