Global warming is a real thing, it\u2019s happening!  Right now! \nThis was my realization when I recently came across FifFis<\/a>.  I\u2019ve\nalways known about global warming (I mean we have learned all about it when we\nwere at school) and I know that we should all strive to reduce our carbon\nfootprint to not contribute to global warming. \nRecently everyone was bombarded with the \u201cNO plastic is fantastic\u201d\ncampaigns and everywhere you turn you see people using alternatives to the\nsingle-use plastic items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is all good.  We\nare still working on changing our lifestyle to a greener more environmentally friendly\nlifestyle (we hope you are trying too), but it is difficult at times.  You need to buy new\/different and sometimes\nmore expensive products and in today\u2019s economic situation in South Africa, it\u2019s\nnot always possible.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great was my excitement when I was introduced to FifFis!  It was at the Villa Tuscana by Mantis that I realized\nthat 1\/3 of food are wasted in the whole world. \nThat means that 1 out of every three apples that you buy, will not be\neaten.  Not only does the food land up in\nLandfills, but all the water, energy, money and labour that went into producing\nyour produce, is wasted.  When the wasted\nfood ends up in landfills, it contributes to the rising temperature of our\nplanet as it releases Greenhouse Gasses into the atmosphere.  It is a shocking realization and something that\nRomy Foods\u00ae\nhave found a solution for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I bet you are now thinking that we should probably eat more\nas to not waste food (well that was my first thought anyway), but it is nothing\nlike that.  You also do not need to give\nthe food that will go to waste to less fortunate people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No.  Rickard Gillblad,\nCEO of Romy Food Corporation and Kenneth Wahlberg, Managing Director of Romy\nFoods South Africa has come up with a simple solution that has recently\nlaunched here in Port Elizabeth, South Africa where you do not have to change\nany eating habits or buy more expensive produce.  A new range of ready-meals has now launched\nin Africa after successfully being introduced in Europe and Australia.  These ready-made meals are using Torus Pak\u00ae\ntechnology to serve restaurant quality meals created and plated by top chefs,\nto your table.  Believe me when I say\nthat you will feel as if you are dining at a top hotel, when you enjoy any of\nthe FifFis meals.  Not only does the\nmeals look great, but they taste divine and best of all, they will make you\nlook good when you plate them to your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These ready meals can be frozen and then plated upon\nrequest, making it easy for restaurants and hospitals to reduce their food\nwaste by not preparing food that will not be consumed.  We as travellers are super excited about this\nnew concept as we often spend some time at guesthouses, lodges and hotels in\nAfrica where it is hard to find fresh, well-prepared food.  We would love to receive a plate of FifFis\ndesigned food where we will know that the produce is fresh, it was sustainably\nsourced, it has the necessary nutrition to keep us going and to top it all, it\nis beautifully presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So by now you are wondering how you will be making a difference if you are not wasting any food that you used to give to the less fortunate.  Well, look no further!  Romy Food Corporation is giving children in Africa a meal a day to provide the necessary nutrition for them to go to school.  The Meal-for-a-Meal Programme provides one meal for children in Uganda, for every meal that FifFis sell.  How cool is that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malnutrition is one of the biggest problems on the African\ncontinent and if you decide to waste less food by supporting FifFis, you are guaranteed\nto make a difference in a child\u2019s life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So join us in making that decision.  Join us and Romy Foods in minimalizing your\nfood waste by changing your meal plans to the FifFis ready-meals.  Let us reduce our footprint by eating more\nclever.  We will definitely take some ready-meals\nwith us on our next trip and so should you! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
