Food Wastage
|
I am shocked to see the terrible wastage of food in some big cities in China. I have seen so many people eat half a box of rice and throw the rest. In a hotel breakfast buffet I saw them throw away fresh slices of fruit, meat and delicious food at the end of the buffet. I wonder why they don't sell it or give it to the staff to bring home? In restaurants, we often see people ordering much more than what they can eat. I am not the stingy kind of guy and do enjoy eating a lot but I cannot stand wastage. We should be sensible because the farms resources are limited. Seems people need to experience hunger to know how precious food is. It is depressing to see such wastage.

- yeah, after blowsing the film named 2012, it's rather vital to let people realize the result from polluting the environment. makeing full use of the resources, protecting our environment, should start from everyone. telling the knowledge of the environmental protection, doing publicity, organizing some activities concerned, etc.

- In fact,people in China may sell the undone food or fruit to other people to feed animal.Like pigs,chicken,duck or so on.Or make them fertilizer for flower.It's kind of recycling...not disgusting...This is normal in China.Not all of them are wasting.

- Those food are too good quality for animal feed. Throw away fresh rice is too wasteful. Animal feed comes from other sources. If you seen the food wasted, your heart will pain.

Order more than what you can eat, then pay double for the leftover food. People will then think before they order.

This one reminds me the words that: the only thing we've learned from the past is nothing.

- This is how our world so unfair and ridiculous that food ordered by wealthy people for A single meal might feed those poor ones in Africa for a lifetime.

- Nature intended that there is always not enough food for everyone in this world so that we have struggle to have food. In this situation, we still waste food is indeed unacceptable. The resources are limited and it is up to us how to use it. Nature is also fair, in Africa there is plenty of much needed minerals which the world need including the contents battery of your cellphones, without their minerals, we cannot have the luxury of cellphones. All these resources are limited so we must conserve.
