Question

【题目】For convenience(方便), plenty of people prefer having a takeaway(外卖) to cooking at home. Now there is an app through which people can enjoy delicious and cheap takeaway food.

Too Good To Go, an app being used in the UK, allows users to order leftover(剩余的)food at a low price from restaurants. The purpose is to help cut down on food waste, as lots of restaurants usually throw away the food that can still be eaten at the end of the day.

Users just need to pick a restaurant and pay through the app. Then they pick up their food at planned times usually around closing time or after peak meal times.

“Food waste is one of the biggest problems we have in this world,” one creator of the app said. “The restaurant industry is wasting about 600,000 tons of food each year.” By the end of August, Too Good To Go had helped save about 600 meals in the UK.

Users also have the choice to give meals to people who are in need by donating one British pound or more through the app. By the end of August, more than 1,100 meals had been donated.

Too Good To Go isn’t the first app to try to deal with food waste. In Spain, the Yo No Desperdicio app allows people to exchange leftover food with each other. In the US, the Food Cowboy app allows food shops to sell “ugly vegetables” that most customers don’t buy to charities and food banks that need them.
