Question

【题目】Almost every Chinese can recite the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work.”But sadly, many of us don’t get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.

News 1+1，a famous CCTV program, reported that food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food? No. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

Chinese people are well known for being generous(慷慨的). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired( 开除) because she took some leftover food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized the waste of food.

What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food. Here are some tips:

★ Don’t order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.

★ Don’t be too picky(挑剔) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.

★ Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.
