Why should we save food?

1. Most human food comes from only eight plants: wheat, rice, corn, barley, oats, sorghum, millet and rye. The total annual output of eight crops in the world is 65.438+0.5 billion tons, which is limited. If the world stops producing food,

The world grain reserve can only last for about 40 days. If it is wasted, there will be nothing, and mankind will starve. )

2. In some residential areas, sanitation workers found a whole bowl of steamed bread, noodles, rice and so on. Coincidentally, some canteens and restaurants waste food seriously. According to a hotel manager, at least 10 kg of spaghetti is dumped in their restaurant every day. This shows that in some units and families, people's concept of cherishing food has become quite weak. This phenomenon is worrying.

It should be said that with the development of society, our quality of life has been greatly improved, and people in most areas no longer worry about eating. Looking at the full grain bags, some people forget the bitter days of the past and the teaching of "cherishing food". Especially at the dining table, if you pay attention to economy, you won't lose face and make people feel shabby? In fact, this concept is really all wet. It is reported that in Switzerland, where the per capita income is the highest in Europe and the living standard is the highest in the world, careful calculation and saving glory have become unwritten rules. The restaurant absolutely does not allow customers to waste, and those who waste will be fined. Why should such a rich country show off its waste when it is still so frugal? !

Cherishing food is by no means shabby, let alone humiliating. This is a high-quality performance and a very glorious action. As the saying goes, people take food as the sky and food as the foundation. Now the grain situation in China is not optimistic. The ancients taught us that a porridge and a meal are hard to come by, and it is difficult to think persistently. All departments, units and families should strengthen education in this respect and do a good job in cherishing food, so that cherishing food becomes a common practice in the whole society.
