CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food which can feed 200 million

people for a year.

Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Programme, there were

900 million hungry people all over the world in 2013. About six million children die of hunger every year. So

think about it. We should say no to people who waste food every day. An old saying goes, “Every grain on the

plate comes from hard work.” It tells us everybody must save food.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant

in Jiangsu, once lost her job because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. But many people

were by her side and criticized (批评) the waste of food.

What should we do in our daily life to stop wasting food? We can do many things to prevent it from happening.

Here are some tips:

Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you can’t eat all the food you

order, take the rest of it home.

Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. some food may not be tasty, but put body need it.

Don’t keep too much food at home, especially for fruit and vegetables.
