| go eat die think waste |
Rice, meat, vegetables and fruit…there are many different food choices for us to eat every day. You may that throwing away your leftover food is not a big deal. But you should keep in mind that many people around the world still don't have enough to eat.
In 2015, there were over 1 billion hungry people in the world, according to the United Nations. Many children went to sleep hungry and 15 million of them even from hunger.
However, food waste is still a big problem. The average (普通的) person throws away 50 kg of food every year. This means that 1.3 billion tons of food to waste each year. That is more than one third of all the food we make.
We could give this leftover food to many people. For example, the food that in Europe would be enough to feed 200 million people!
So next time you feel picky(挑剔的) about what you want or can't finish your meal, you should think twice. There are many others who aren't so lucky.
