We have learned this poem since childhood, telling us to save food and not to waste it. Now we are born in a good era, with abundant food and diverse choices. My parents' generation came from hard times.
A salted duck egg should be shared by the whole family, and a piece of jelly is only available during the New Year. Children who can afford lollipops will not be in poor family conditions. Wild vegetables and wild fruits are already the best ingredients.
Nowadays, people just eat a few bites at a meal and throw away several dishes. Go to the restaurant for ostentation and extravagance, and throw away all the untouched dishes. The refrigerator was so full that it broke before it could be eaten.
The harm of wasting food.
Before talking about how to prevent food waste, let's talk about the harm of wasting food. As we all know, the earth's resources are limited. In order to increase food income, people cultivate land and use fertilizers and pesticides.
The environment and ecology are affected, forests are largely reduced, animals are homeless, and land desertification is serious. This series of influences are cyclical, and each cause has its consequences.
Maybe you don't know, about 65.438+300 million tons of grain are wasted every year. Such a huge number is shocking. One in nine people in the world is hungry.
Every bowl of rice on the dining table contains all kinds of gratitude. One is grateful for the gift of nature, the other is grateful for the hard work of farmers, the other is grateful for the hard work of family members, and the other is grateful for their own efforts.
Every dish, every grain of rice, should be eaten carefully. Repay this gratitude with actions. Food waste will not only affect the ecological environment, but also disappoint the kindness of others.
How to prevent food waste?
First of all, buy food often and cook less.
It's always good to live at home and save money. I'm afraid to buy more vegetables. I can buy them once a day. If you don't know what to buy, you can make a menu in advance.
The recipes for three meals a week can be listed, so don't worry about not knowing what to buy or what to do. You can get together as a family and discuss the dishes on the menu.
There are many people in the family, so you can cook more dishes, but the weight is small. It is good that the family has enough food. Eating leftovers is not good for your health, but it is a waste and a pity to throw them away. You can try to eat less and order more.
Then, go out to eat and pack.
People's life has improved, and eating out is common. To save face, I often order a table of dishes. We were just drinking and chatting, and there was a lot left when we left.
Some people will pack it and take it home. Some people feel ashamed of packing, so they pay the bill and leave. People's minds are changing, so we should encourage leftovers to be packed and taken back.
When you invite people to eat and order food, you can also do it in moderation, saving money and not causing waste. You can order a few dishes first. If you are hungry, eat more vegetables and add another dish.
In short, encouraging and advocating the national CD-ROM program and saving food are also protecting ourselves, which can be described as many benefits. It is suggested that if there are too many orders left, double the payment. Many netizens agree with both hands. Saving food is the general trend. Join us as soon as possible.
