Cherish food

As the saying goes, "People eat food for the sky", this sentence is not a fake, eating is the first need for human survival! Nowadays, China's vast land and resources, food resources are numerous, people's lives are getting better and better, and the phenomenon of wasting food is everywhere. The word "saving" has been gradually neglected and forgotten in the hearts of many people. If we have no problem eating, do we have to pay attention to saving?

First of all, we must know that China's food status is not optimistic. In 2000, China's total grain, cotton and meat production ranked first in the world. However, according to the average population, there are only 362 kilograms of food per person, which is lower than the world average and even lower than some developing countries. What is even more shocking is that today is not many times more than the Tang and Song dynasties of the Tang Dynasty? However, due to the rapid increase in population, the per capita possession of food is even more than 200 kilograms less than the Tang and Song Dynasties! ! ! According to the 2000 census, China’s population has reached 1.3 billion. What about the area of ​​cultivated land in China? It accounts for only 7% of the world's cultivated land, but it feeds 22% of the world's population. The problem of eating so many people has become China's first big problem. Nowadays, wasting food should be one of the most shameful acts, because wasting food is equivalent to chronic suicide! Everyone sees that there are more and more people who are wasting extravagance and wasteful, even though we Chinese are hungry now. However, the Chinese population has a net increase of 12 million people per year. If it is wasted now, the Chinese in the future will only starve to death!

In addition, we should have the simple feeling of "a meal is a hard time". "Who knows the Chinese food, the grains are hard", from seed selection, sowing, weeding, fertilization, harvesting to processing, each grain contains the hard work of the peasant uncle and others! Therefore, we cherish food is also a kind of respect for their labor. It is with their labor that we can eat well and eat well; it is with their labor that when natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc. come, the state can allocate a large amount of relief supplies, and The food in it has become the first need of the victims. Perhaps the ordinary food that you usually never feel relieved of will become the straw of others and the most delicious food in the world!

Seeing this, some people will say, I also want to save, how can I do it? Here, I have a few small suggestions for your reference: go to the restaurant to eat, don't let you know because you want to face, in fact, enough to eat, not too extravagant. After eating at a restaurant, if there are leftovers, it is necessary to pack them back and eat them. Don't feel very shameful. This is actually a very glorious thing. How much to eat at home when eating, it is best to eat less, because after eating, you can regain. Also, it is best not to develop the habit of picky eaters, and think that if you don't eat well, you will just throw it away.
