Food Waste

Do you know how much food is wasted a year in China ? Do you know how many children have died of hunger ? And do you know how many people are still worried about not having any food ?

In China , The food that was wasted on Chinese table was as high as 20 billion Yuan a year , food equivalent to a year of more than 200 million people ration . In contrast , in China , there is still more than 100 million rural poor people who have problems with hunger .

So in order to reduce food waste we can do three things

1 . Make a food list . You can just buy the things that you need, such as 2kg of fish or 1 kg of meat etc. You can buy some fruit and some vegetables today and tomorrow you will buy 1 kg of fish ,2 kg of meat .....

2 .  Be careful of the date ( especially milk ) . Sometimes when we buy the milk or other things we are not be careful of the date . Day after the food will be not be fresh any more .

3. Put the foods that you cannot finish in the fridge. If they are not as fresh as before, then you can cook them again for the next dinner . For example . the fish , la pasta ( usually no ) , rice .....

Finally , reducing food waste is simple to do at home . It is also good for environment, people, and animals . If we all do these 3 things ,we can waste less food and have more for people in China and everywhere .
