  In Singapore, food waste concerns are on the rise. Last year, we threw out 744 million kg of food – the weight of about 51,000 double-decker buses! The sheer amount of food wastage is troubling in two ways. One, because it adds to the limited space in Singapore’s only landfill. Two, because Singapore must import most of its food due to our limited land resources to grow our own, we’re wasting a significant number of resources and energy that goes into growing, processing, and transporting food for our consumption. This in turn also increases our carbon footprint, as we’ll have to find ways to dispose of the wastage in an environmentally safe manner. What can we do as consumers? For starters, food waste at the consumer level tends to be because we buy too much for our own consumption, and then throw it out once it hits the best-by dates. Another way is when we order too much food when we are eating out at buffets or hawker centres and find ourselves unable to finish our food. In b...

  When Singapore enacted its stay-at-home measures for 2 months, a survey done by the Singapore Management University found that the social satisfaction levels for senior citizens dipped by about 4%. Among those affected, senior citizens who were living alone felt the greatest impact. It’s not hard to imagine why – the senior citizens who lived alone either relied on their family members to visit or they met their peers within their neighbourhood while they go about their daily routines. However, during the stay-at-home measures, family members were discouraged from visiting their elderly family members. Furthermore, senior citizens were encouraged to stay at home more often to minimise their risk of contracting the virus. With such sudden disruptions to their daily routines over a prolonged period, many senior citizens have found it difficult to return to their daily lifestyles. Thus, more than ever, we need to check in with our senior family members, especially if they’re living ...

  Are you looking to eat healthier for the new year, but you’re not sure where to start? Instead of throwing yourself into eating super clean meals off the bat, it helps to start small and expand your diet and your palate. What most people tend to overlook when they start a new diet is whether they’ll enjoy the experience. If we jump into a new diet when we’ve never tried out health foods like quinoa or cauliflower rice, we might get turned off dieting entirely if we try to force ourselves to enjoy the experience. Moreover, when you work on accustoming yourself to different dishes, you can enjoy new culinary delights at every meal. Most of us love sticking to the food that we’re used to because it brings us comfort and we enjoy eating it. However, variety is the spice of life, and constantly eating the same few foods can lead to fatigue and boredom. With all the new food fads in Singapore nowadays, it’s the best time to try out all the different types of food. You might find your n...
