- Community group iftars are common during Ramadan, but often times a large amount of food goes to waste. People should prepare smaller quantities that is enough for the people present.
When you go to group iftars, as many communities are organising during Ramadan, they always have large quantities of food.
Afterwards, there is a lot wasted and no one takes care of that. A lot of the food gets thrown away, which is not the essence of iftar itself.
There should be a quantity control such as making meal boxes for these group iftars and that would limit the amount of food served.
