I think most rural people are quite simple and seldom waste food. After all, they are also workers, and even if there is spoiled food, they will not throw it away. They may eat chickens, pigs, sheep and other animals, and it is ok to use what they can no longer eat as fertilizer.

I remember when I was a child, I never emptied leftovers at home. If there are leftovers, they will be put in the cupboard and heated before eating. When I was a child, I also raised chickens at home. I had to feed them with picked vegetables, leaves and other things. In short, we won't throw them away as garbage.

When I was a child, I went to dinner with my parents, and the leftovers on the mat were not wasted. It was given to the people who helped me take it home. Now, after the wedding banquet in a small city, you can pack the leftover food and take it home. I think it would be better to save small places and not waste them.

When my sister planted the greenhouse, I saw her collecting vegetables. It feels so wasteful. There are many good leaves left, but she has picked them all. She said that people who buy food now cherish it as much as when we were young, but now they can't sell it if it's not good at all. Nowadays, people who buy vegetables are very picky. But these will not be thrown away. She will call my aunt and ask her to bring them back to feed the sheep and chickens. This is the best use.

It is the city people who should save and cherish food the most. I remember the first time I went to a buffet with my friends. Because it's the first time to go, I heard that I would be fined if I didn't finish eating, so I ate bit by bit for fear that my eyes would get bigger and my stomach would get smaller. While I was eating, several young people next door left after eating, leaving a lot of food that had only been bitten or mixed with sauce on the table. Several plates were full and motionless. The customers around me can't stand it. It is a waste to tell the waiter that these people should not go. The waiter just looked at the food on the table. There is nothing they can do. They have no right to fine.

Another large-scale food waste scene is to attend the annual meeting of my husband's company. There are only ten people sitting at a table, but there are really twenty dishes when serving. At that time, I asked my husband if I could pack it and take it away. He felt too ashamed and didn't agree. Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to start eating and move freely. Everyone is frolicking and toasting, places are running around, and few people are sitting and eating well. Because I am a family member, I don't have to curry favor with the boss, so my baby and I will eat hard. But we can't fight, we can only watch the food on the table leave. Later, I heard from my husband that many colleagues complained that they didn't have enough to eat. Many people got up in the middle of the night and went to the hotel to buy instant noodles. After listening to it, I was really shocked and speechless.

City people buy food from supermarkets and markets, and it is difficult to understand what a seed has experienced at the dinner table and read any difficult ancient poem. Too much material will lead to waste, and only through hard work can we cherish it most.
