A porridge and a meal, remembering the hard-won; half a thread, half a thread, constantly remembering the difficulty of material resources.
——Inscription Rejecting waste and cherishing food has once again become a new topic nowadays.
According to statistics, China now wastes enough food to feed three countries for a year. This shocking data reflects the horror of "Chinese-style waste."
Some people say that China is a country that pays special attention to human relations and face. It has always been about "a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring." When you ask others to do things for you or express gratitude to noble people who are kind to you, you often treat them in a restaurant.
On such important occasions, pomp and circumstance are often required, and financial strength is used to express the so-called sincerity and sincerity.
No matter what the intention is, just play it and perform it to your heart's content.
Luxurious hotels, sumptuous dining tables, delicacies, delicacies from all over the world, everything you need.
The guests mingled with each other, ordered as many dishes as possible, and tried to arrive late so that the dishes could be left, so as to show that they had eaten everything; when we went to a restaurant, we ordered more expensive dishes and then only ate a small portion.
Part of it, the rest is not required to be packed up and taken away, it seems that you always want to show that you are rich.
This is what people often call "Chinese waste".
Today's food waste is no longer the original waste of food that cannot be eaten, but has evolved into intentional waste.
Because in this way, you can show how rich and luxurious you are.
But when we are showing off our wealth and luxury, few people consider how many children are still hungry?
How many children are still worrying about their next meal?
Take our students as an example. The purpose of the state's "Egg Milk Project" is to enhance students' physical fitness. However, a large number of students do not cherish it and use eggs for "target practice" and milk for "war" and play games.
What a joy.
According to surveys, 128 million people die from poverty every year around the world. What's more, a child starves to death every six seconds around the world.
In the time it takes us to throw an egg, a child may die of hunger.
Abroad, when attending a party or eating in a restaurant, finishing the food on the plate is a sign of appreciation for the chef and an affirmation of the food.
In China, eating food from the plate is a despicable and looked down upon behavior.
Is it possible that people's thoughts are so different just because of their nationality?
"Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard-earned." Every grain of food is hard-won, and we should all start from ourselves - not to be a "must-have guest", but to be a "discreet family".
If we can't eat, then we will "walk around."
The long history of thousands of years in this great country has created a country with great food!
People say that China is "China on the tip of the tongue", with all kinds of delicacies from all over the world.
But who knew that after this dazzling halo, China is now producing "a waste on the tip of the tongue".
Leaving aside the rich for now, even ordinary people now have an extremely serious problem of waste in food and beverages.
Let’s talk about eating first: Many people go to small restaurants to eat, often “saving face and suffering money”, leaving unfinished food on the plate instead of taking it home.
There are also wedding banquets for relatives and friends and simple affairs in the countryside. A large amount of food is thrown away because the customers can't finish it. What a waste!
Let’s talk about wearing: With the improvement of people’s living standards and the change of the times, more and more people are pursuing material life and throwing unworn clothes into the garbage basket. This is not because the clothes are worn out, but because they are satisfied.
They throw away the "standard" of "the old will not go and the new will not come".
Yes, this is the legendary "Chinese waste".
According to statistics, our country throws away more than 200 million tons of food every year. This number is exactly what people in Britain, France and Germany eat for a year.
At the same time, a child will die of hunger every 6 seconds around the world. This is a more terrifying killer than the H7N9 virus!
This "killer" is quietly approaching us.
Therefore, the "CD" craze has spread on the Internet.
In 2013, a non-governmental public welfare organization in Beijing launched a "CD-ROM" campaign to promote thrift and oppose extravagance and waste.
This action caused a strong response in society.
Some netizens also use their mobile phones to take pictures of their clean plates and leftovers and post them on their Weibo accounts and are proud of it.
There are also similar restaurants abroad. When customers go to eat, they must finish their meal, otherwise they will spend more money on the original cost. Instead, they give discounts to customers who eat clean plates, which greatly reduces wasteful behavior.
Rich people with assets of over 100 million also practice frugality, such as Bill Gates, Shi Zhuzhu and other celebrities. They do not waste their wealth just because they have it.
We advocate saving and eliminating waste, not just as slogans, but also through our own actions, starting from small things in daily life.
The meals cooked by parents are never left over; the dishes ordered when dining out are never left over.
A thousand miles begins with a single step.
We must start now to curb the waste on the tip of our tongue without delay.
What are some delicious ways to make it?
