Question

Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain(谷物，粮食) on the plate comes from hard work.” But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food. A CCTV program reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were over 820 million hungry people around the world in 2018, especially in developing countries. In China, nearly 134million people are hungry. What’s worse, 150million children die of hunger every year. Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table. Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Years ago, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired(解雇) because she took some leftover food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized(批评) the waste of food. What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food?

Here are some tips: 1.Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you have ordered, take the rest of it home. 2.Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.

3. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.
