In the past, people in rural areas thought that wasting food was a waste, and was struck by lightning, so when I was a child, I scattered rice grains onto the table, and my parents reprimanded me: "I was condemned by the gods for what I did, how can you be so careless ah, pick it up and eat it"! I grew up with the habit of saving food, because when I was a child, food rationing, not enough to eat, often hungry, often only eat two meals a day, my family always next month's food ration borrowed to eat, the end of the year in the money to buy bargain food to fill the "hole"!
Food is more important than money, without food human beings can not survive. And now the party and the government advocate the practice of economy, against the phenomenon of food and drink waste, calling on everyone to have a strategic awareness, awareness of worry, food security awareness, can not forget the food crisis, forget the famine.
Maybe a person waste a little is not much, but the country's population of 1.4 billion people, each person waste one or two rice, the number is alarming. According to statistics a second-tier cities every day catering residual waste up to a million tons, many of which are chefs hard cooking out of the dishes, a mouthful did not eat, when the slop treatment, which is not only disrespectful to the chef's labor, but also wasteful behavior, and the treatment of these food and beverage waste, consume a lot of manpower and financial resources, financial expenditure needs to be invested in hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
Perhaps people think that now the conditions are better, waste on waste. But we have experienced wars, disasters, famine, we eat a bark, grass roots, Guanyin soil, our per capita arable land is only 1.3 acres or so, food can only be self-sufficient each year, our stock of food is only enough for us to eat a year, if I come back to a "three years of natural disasters," how can we do? What can we do if we have another "three-year natural disaster"? What can we do to feed our 1.4 billion people? Food is not only the food, it is a strategic material, in the western countries food "weaponized" today, if there is no food reserves, is the same as letting the enemy strangle the throat, grabbed the lifeblood, even if we have money, may be foreigners do not sell food to us.
A scholar in a Western country predicted, "What will China take to feed the Chinese people in the 21st century?"
Today, with the global epidemic outbreak and the food crisis worsening, the world is facing challenges, and we must "always treat the day as if it were not a day, and not think of the day as if it were not a day"!
Today's food waste in China's catering industry is alarming. There was a time when people pursuing a life of enjoyment, to squander the waste of pride, packaged CD-ROM for shame, really squandering ah, that is, even more food can not withstand the "losers" so wasteful!
In the school, the trash can is all steamed buns, buns, rice, vegetables, teenagers do not cherish the food, no sense of crisis, no sense of worry, they only know the great peace of the world, but do not know that there may be natural and man-made disasters, their own wastefulness is not ashamed, on the contrary, I thought it was a honor, not a bit of leftover rice, I feel ashamed of it.
In the building hall hall, people than consumption, than broad, than the atmosphere, than waste, than the grade, we are chasing vanity self-esteem, the satisfaction of the mind. No one ate how much to order how much, but constantly add food, no one can not eat away, no one CD-ROM. Because of the eating can't take away shabby, CD-ROM no face shame! In the countryside, red and white wedding waste is also very serious, in the past, rural feasts only six dishes, now at least 20 dishes on the rural feast, plus four hot pots, eat half waste half. Frugality is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, is the practice of socialist core values, saving honor, waste shameful!
Against food waste, is the party and the country for the current and future international and domestic situation to make a wise decision. The whole party, the whole army, the people of all nationalities to strengthen the importance of the strategic position of food from a high degree of security, think of danger, to prevent danger, save for a rainy day, the accumulation of grain to prevent hunger. Food is the farmers with sweat in exchange for, not because it is not worth it, it is recklessly wasted! In the past, we dare not waste food, now we dare not waste food, in the future we have to cherish food, because who has food, who is the final winner, who has the future!
