Stop wasting food in this period of high inflation

I find it very disappointing that in this period of high inflation and food scarcity, we still have events like making a 77 kg Rojak for the Singapore Book of Records. Don't we have better use of the food for other purposes? By supporting this kind of events, are we sending the message that we have no respect for food?

Seriously, the amount of food wastage that comes out of such events can be put to better use. Food prices are already rising across the board this year, and this kind of events doesn't help in keeping inflation down. We can unite citizens in other ways than this kind of mass wastage of food.

I do believe that it was for a good cause, to promote racial/immigrant harmony.

Even if it is for a good cause, I believe it can be done without wastage of food. For e.g., cycling, marathon, flea market, etc.

Wastage of food is sending the wrong message to all, even if it is for a good cause.

Yeah, they might as well distribute the 77kg rojak to all the poor in Singapore.
