Chinese Academy of Sciences has published an investigation result about the food waste in China.
Accroding to the investigation from 2013 to 2015, the amount of food waste is ,between 17,000,000tons(17 million tons) to 18 million tons.
This is a year ration for nearly 30,000,000(30 million) to 50 million people.
Yesterday, I saw another news about food. On a wedding in Shandong province, the groom and bride held a simple ceremony and all the guests shared one dish.
In Chinese tradition, the hosts show their welcome by a table of dishes, it's very embarrass if all the dishes is empty, so there are alway many food been left.
When the days are difficult, it's understandable that people make as many dished as possible to celebrate an improtant day, such as a wedding, funeral or festivel. At that time, everyone eat togather with joy and greatful.
But now, we live at a age of plenty, we almost can eat everything we want, at any time. So I think we should stop this tradition, and start to make a simple tradition.It will remind us, to keep the joy and greatful to the things we have.
