let's see how the French view the packaging behavior. Why are the French afraid to pack leftovers? Fabrice Moya was a French snob in Lyon, France in 2112. He didn't mind guests packing food they couldn't eat, but it rarely happened. He told The New York Times that an average of 511 people come to dinner every week, and only one person can pack at most. According to a report recently released by the French government, France loses 21 billion euros (137.8 billion yuan) every year because of food waste. Galois, a member of the Socialist Party who drafted the report, believes that this means "a crisis in the food production and consumption system". Among the 36 suggestions put forward by Galois, the promotion of "dog food bags" packed after meals is included.

The British "Daily Telegraph" reported that in the eyes of many French people, packaging leftovers after meals is closely related to "Anglo-Saxon restaurants" represented by American fast food, which is a manifestation of "valuing weight over taste". The traditional practice in France is to "eat or not eat", said Jean-Pierre cabot, a sociologist at the University of Tours in France. Neither the upper class nor the poor have the concept of packaging. For the working class, they seldom go out to eat, and there is usually no food on their plates. The rich are so rich that they despise packing. The French "local" website said that the attitude of French people refusing to take leftovers home was formed at an early age, and the misunderstanding of the law in adulthood strengthened this attitude. But the seriousness of food waste forces people to change their habits. The European NGO Coalition for Sustainable Catering said that wasting food is a symbol of "individualism" and "egoism" in France. According to government data, 3.5 million people in France live on free food provided by charitable organizations. Packing can only be done in secret. The reason given by those who refuse to pack is that packing leftovers is stingy, impolite and even unsanitary. France's Le Monde found that people have all kinds of concerns about packaging.

Does leftovers mean being uneducated? A staff member of the French catering consulting company revealed to the "local" website that in the 1991s, some "big coffees" in the French catering industry tried to promote the packaging culture, but ended in failure. French culture seems to run counter to natural packaging. Laurent, the founder of an environmental packaging company in this country, supports after-dinner packaging, but he also points out that he was taught to eat all the food on his plate from an early age. "Like many French people, when I was a child, adults always told me not to eat leftovers, so now I go out to eat and don't pack

" He thinks this habit makes the French people don't need to pack at all. " If you can't eat your own food and show it around in a bag, you will surely be condemned from all sides. This is as rude as not knowing how to say "thank you" or not opening the door for a lady, which proves that a person's family education is not good. French law does not allow us to allow customers to take food out of restaurants. If customers are poisoned by these leftovers, they can sue the restaurant, and the restaurant owner will bear the responsibility. "In the French catering industry, the debate about packaging has been going on for many years, Laurent said, which is a complete misunderstanding of the law. "
