Question

Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem,“ Every grain on the plate comes from hard work ( 誰知盤中餐，粒粒皆辛苦).”But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.

A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw 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 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

The Chinese people are well known for being hospitable ( 好客的 ) and generous ( 慷慨大方 ). 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. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired because she took some leftover  food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized ( 批評 ) the waste of food.

What should we do in our daily life to waste less food ? Here are some tips :

Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you can not eat all the food you ordered ,take the rest of it home.

Don’t be too picky ( 挑剔的 ) about food . Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.

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