People take food as the sky, and food is safe for the world. However, since the reform and opening up, with the earth-shaking changes in China's urban and rural areas, the living standards of ordinary people have been continuously improved, and the phenomenon of wasting food in some places has become increasingly prominent. In particular, the phenomenon of food and beverage waste is even more shocking and distressing. According to incomplete statistics, 50 billion Jin of grain is wasted on the dining table every year in China, which is equivalent to more than 200 million people's annual rations. It is urgent and imperative to stop food waste and advocate civilized, healthy, simple and moderate food concept and lifestyle.
Thrift is an excellent traditional virtue of China, and the virtue of simple dining should be observed at all times. "Success is due to diligence, and failure is due to luxury." From ancient times to the present, there are many stories about thrift, which not only make us deeply educated and enlightened, but also influence our words and deeds all the time. Nowadays, although the comprehensive strength of our country has been greatly improved, the grain output has increased year after year, and the people are not worried about food and clothing, but we still can't forget the era of "hungry for food" and "gnawing at bark". Especially for this year's COVID-19 outbreak, severe floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and other unpredictable epidemic disasters, Hubei, Wuhan and other places have pressed the "pause button" one after another, and production and life have come to a standstill. The importance of food security has become more and more important, and it is even more urgent to stop food waste. Therefore, at any time, even if most people live a well-off life now, we should be prepared for danger in times of peace, consciously observe and practice the traditional virtues of thrift, avoid wasting three meals a day, and be simple and simple.
Moderate dining, benefiting others and benefiting oneself, is also a new way of green and fashionable life advocated at present. Comprehensive analysis shows that the social harm caused by food waste is deep-seated and multifaceted, while moderate dining is beneficial to the country and the people. Personally, moderate dining is not only beneficial to one's physical and mental health, but also can reduce the occurrence of diseases, greatly reduce unnecessary expenses of individuals and families, reduce the pressure of life and improve the quality of life. For the society and the country, moderate dining is not only conducive to ensuring national food security and social stability, but also can greatly reduce kitchen waste, which is conducive to environmental protection. It is precisely because of this that experts and public welfare people in related fields have consistently called for paying attention to food security, stopping food waste, and advocating austerity and "CD action" for many years. More importantly, these measures to cherish food and stop food waste coincide with the needs of the public and the requirements of high-quality development of the times, and are a new green, fashionable and healthy way of life advocated at present.
"A porridge and a meal are hard to come by; Half a silk and half a wisp, it is difficult to save material resources. " Simplicity and moderation are not only respect and awe for food, but also the standard of civilized dining. Only by actively advocating the concept of simple and moderate dining can we reduce the waste of dining tables and form a good atmosphere for everyone to cherish food and practice economy in the whole society.
