The main cause of food waste is our modern lifestyle. People are usually not checking their fridges before shopping. Another reason for wasting food is that farmers and supermarkets throw away products which are considered unacceptable.
Food that is wasted has some influences. Food waste leads to a waste of resources used in food production, including land, water and energy. The food waste is buried（掩埋）or left to go bad. This produces a kind of "green house" gas, which results in global warming and climate change.
Lessons about food problems should be taught at school. Also, we need to think twice before we go shopping. When we're eating, we should eat up the food we ordered or cooked.
