Food is the most important thing for the people, and food comes first. Grain is a precious resource for human survival and an important strategic material related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The food problem is not only an economic issue, but also a political issue. China's population accounts for more than 20% of the world's population, and cultivated land accounts for only about 7% of the world's population. The basic national conditions of insufficient land resources and water resources determine that food supply and demand will be in a tight balance for a long time. According to the investigation of relevant departments, the total loss and waste of storage, circulation and processing in China is as high as more than 70 billion Jin every year, which is equivalent to the output of 200 million mu of cultivated land. Among them, the grain storage loss caused by insects, molds and rats is more than 40 billion Jin; The circulation loss exceeds 654.38+0.5 billion Jin; The misunderstanding of consumption habits and the excessive pursuit of brightness, whiteness and fineness have caused processing losses of more than 654.38+0.3 billion Jin. The "waste on the tip of the tongue" is even more amazing. Bad consumption patterns such as inviting guests to dinner and ostentation and extravagance. It caused a waste of 200 billion yuan on the dining table, equivalent to about 60 million tons of grain, enough to feed 200 million people.

As the saying goes: dripping water becomes a river, and rice grains become baskets. Practicing economy and opposing waste is an important decision made by the party and the state from China's national conditions and the needs of economic and social development in the new period. Saving food and opposing waste should be the conscious action of every citizen. To this end, Guigang Grain Bureau issued the following initiatives to all walks of life and residents in the city:

First, residents should consciously carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation's diligence and thrift, establish the ideological concept of saving glory and wasting shame, increase the propaganda of strict saving and opposing waste, and strive to create a good social trend of civilized dining, rational consumption and strict saving.

Second, party, government and military organs, institutions, people's organizations, state-owned enterprises, primary and secondary schools at all levels should vigorously carry out the "save a grain" activity, create demonstration units and family activities that love and save grain, start with dining in canteens and families, take the lead in setting an example, adhere to strict economy, strictly implement various saving measures, and put an end to "waste on the table."

Third, all catering enterprises should strengthen their sense of self-discipline, formulate and improve catering service operation norms and civilized dining norms according to the principle of "nutrition, health, moderation and frugality", consciously resist excessive consumption habits, guide consumers to consume scientifically and rationally, provide convenience for civilized dining and frugality, create a good catering cultural environment, and put an end to "waste on the tip of the tongue". Fourth, strive for practitioners who make love and save money. Starting from me, starting from small things, starting from three meals a day, rational consumption. When eating out, we should be proud of "CD" and ashamed of "leftovers", pack the leftovers and strive to be an example and model for making love and saving food. A porridge and a meal, when thinking is hard-won, save you and me. Let's work together in Qi Xin, take part in the activities of saving food with practical actions, and be thrifty communicators, practitioners and demonstrators.
