Why do thrifty Japanese prefer to waste rather than pack? The reason is worthy of our deep thinking.
Leftovers should be packed and taken away, and included in the slogan of the canteen. When I go out, I occasionally think of the word "province", pack it up and take it away to continue eating. This is a sign of not wasting food, but we occasionally choose to waste it, because the food is really bad, confused and helpless.
Therefore, frugality actually depends on the situation. In fact, sometimes we don't want to waste it, but there is no way to waste it. This requires us to be careful when ordering and choosing dishes, just as I have done in recent years, for fear that the dishes sent by a new store are not delicious or fresh, which not only wastes food but also wastes money.
The same question was thrown at Japan. Do you know what they think? The result is very unexpected: the Japanese never pack! This doesn't seem to conform to their ethos. You know, the Japanese are very frugal. After all, their resources are extremely scarce and they can't afford any extravagance and waste. So why do Japanese never choose to pack?
The reason is revealed. I think we should have a new understanding of food waste and frugality. What they have done is far-reaching! It is in the eyes of most Japanese that food does not need to be packaged, because they can eat as much as they want, and there is almost no leftovers. Without leftovers, there is no way to package it.
Yes, if we always measure it and eat it almost every time, then why do we have to pack it and take it away? Compared with the latter, which is real frugality and which is waste? This is a topic worthy of our deep thought. What do foodies think?
