The booming food wastage crisis in New York State has made many people conscious of this issue. Many believe it should be the job of the state and local officials to deal with this imminent crisis. However, the government's involvement brings too much hindrance in the lives of private citizens already trying to solve the issue in one way or another. 

First, government intervention destroys private citizens' ability to devise different approaches. This means that specific methods would be acceptable, while others will be discouraged. Since food wastage does not have homogeneity, every different type of food requires a different approach. When left to private organizations, they can devise innovative solutions to solve the crisis. 

Secondly, there is a concern about resource mismanagement by the state government. Tasking the government with handling food waste will result in poor planning, delay decision-making, and ultimately cost the taxpayers millions of dollars. Governments also fall prey to bureaucratic discrepancies, which make the whole process messy. 

In contrast, private citizens must be vigilant regarding planning and resource allocation. Several Non-Governmental Organizations are already tackling this issue. As these organizations have a vested interest in being transparent and frugal, their innovative management can help bring more people to join their cause without any undue governmental approach.

The food wastage issue remains pertinent in New York, and there is no denial. However, it requires the entrepreneurial spirit of the individual, delicate planning, and strategic resource allocation to eradicate this menace. Government intervention creates hurdles and sometimes restricts people's ability to experiment to develop better solutions. 

Passing legislation to handle food waste in New York State was a step in the wrong direction.
