A famous actress’ “eating other people’s leftovers” was exposed, and the truth behind it is shocking

A few days ago, well-known actress Michelle Ye revealed her experience of \”eating other people\’s leftovers\” in a video. She said that she and her friends went to a Western restaurant to eat. When they were about to finish, they saw the guests at the next table leaving. There were a lot of dishes left on the table, including a large pot of vegetables that had not been touched much. Xuan Ye hesitated again and again and asked the waiter: \”Can I eat their onions?\” The waiter was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: \”I\’ll go to the kitchen and get you two new ones.\” Xuan Ye quickly refused: \”I don\’t want to eat this. I just saw that they didn\’t touch these dishes at all. It feels like a waste. People in many places don\’t even have enough to eat. It\’s not good for us to waste like this. We should eat them all.\” Later, she and her friends We finished eating those onions together. Michelle Ye emphasized: For the sake of health and safety, we are not encouraged or encouraged to eat other people’s leftovers. She took the onions and ate them because she saw them sitting on the side without touching them. The story doesn\’t end here. Later, when Xuan Ye went to check out, the boss actually took the initiative to exempt her from the dessert order. Because he was used to seeing the waste of customers in the restaurant, he always felt uncomfortable. Seeing that Xuan Ye understood the preciousness of food, he especially appreciated it. A small story, but very touching. Finally, some people feel sorry for the waste on our dining tables, and some people think it is inappropriate. Most people don\’t know how shocking people\’s waste of food is nowadays… What is a plate of vegetables in a Western restaurant? Many restaurants are throwing away food in piles. The dishes were almost untouched and all went into the swill bucket. In the university cafeteria, students buy more food than they can finish and fill countless trash cans every day. A survey of several universities in Beijing showed that the total amount of food thrown away was about one-third of the total food purchased by students. That is to say, one out of every three steamed buns is thrown away. If college students buy 1 million steamed buns every day, more than 300,000 buns will go directly into the trash. Cafeterias are even more wasteful. Although it is written on the wall of many restaurants that \”leftover food cannot exceed 150 grams, otherwise an additional meal fee will be charged\”, customers still ignore it and take a lot, leaving a lot behind, which is a lot of waste. Nowadays, people are accustomed to ordering takeout. Many people don’t know what to eat when ordering, so they order a double portion for two people. When it comes, they don’t like to eat it, so they throw it away after a few bites. There are even stranger ones. There are many people on the Internet who make money by performing \”Big Eater\” performances. In the video, they put out a lot of food, eat and drink indiscriminately, and make others exclaim that \”it\’s so delicious\”, and then win likes, traffic, and money. A while ago, a certain food and broadcast blogger fell over because he mistakenly posted an unedited video online. There was a lot of food on display in the video, and while he was eating it with relish, he naturally took the container and spit out the food in his mouth. It turns out that many \”big eaters\” eat like this in order to attract attention. Looking back at the various videos on the Internet that use a lot of food, I am not only shocked. Can all these foods that are used as \”money-making props\” really be eaten? If your body doesn\’t really need it, why eat so much? It\’s understandable that people want to make money, but what\’s the blame for the wasted food? Previously, the variety show \”Running Man\” staged the \”most popular show in history\”\”Disgusting scene.\” At that time, Zhu Yawen and Bai Yu went to clean up the food waste, that is, to help the staff transport the leftovers from the table to the garbage truck. In this transportation alone, there were 28 barrels, each weighing 200 kilograms. It weighs a full 5,600 kilograms. Moreover, the masters who transport food waste on a daily basis go to more than 40 such places every day, transporting at least hundreds of barrels every day. The male guests saw barrels of food being dumped into the car with their own eyes. They were all shocked. Although the food that has been turned into garbage looks disgusting, before that it was a grain of rice and a vegetable. The scary thing is that this kind of waste has been going on for a long time, and it is far worse than people imagined. It’s even more serious. There are 12,000 tons of food waste in Hangzhou every day, which can fill up the West Lake every three or four years. Shanghai is equally scary, producing 6,000 tons of food waste in one day. According to CCTV’s “Waste on the Tip of the Tongue” report, Chinese people The value of food wasted on the table every year is as high as 200 billion yuan, and the food thrown away is equivalent to the annual rations of more than 200 million people. In addition, data from the State Grain Administration shows that 35% of the food produced in China is wasted every year. I can’t believe it. These mountains of garbage are wasted by ordinary people every day, almost without noticing. Thirty years ago, if people threw away food like this, they would feel uncomfortable. But today , we throw away food with peace of mind, without feeling any distress. Because life is better now. Almost none of our generation has experienced famine, and we are all so used to having enough food that we have collectively forgotten the weight of a grain of rice or a steamed bun. . Do we have the right to waste food like this? Not at all. In stark contrast to the wealthy areas where tons of food are thrown away: there are more than 100 million rural people in need in our country. The left-behind elderly people in remote rural areas don’t even think about what they eat. Look. In a primary school in Guangxi, the children’s lunch only has white rice, without any vegetables, eggs, or meat… The kitchen only has water for making porridge. In Africa, you can often see children licking the bottom of the pot over and over again because they are not full. Children. Because of poverty + hunger, many mothers can only use loess to make \”earth biscuits\” for their children. This situation is particularly serious this year. The impact of the epidemic is already terrible, but the locust plague has made it worse. The latest United Nations report shows that global hunger this year The number of people will surge by 130 million, and the world is on the verge of the most serious food crisis in at least 50 years. When we throw away plates of food unscrupulously in the abundance of food and clothing, hunger is not far away. As we all know, China is using the world to It is not easy to feed nearly 20% of the world\’s population with 7% of the cultivated land. In order to feed the people across the country, the country has continued to increase investment in scientific research over the years. Yuan Longping once bitterly rebuked food waste: Our country has such a large population and arable land. It is so small, and the state has invested a lot and worked hard to increase the yield. It is very difficult to increase our rice yield by 10 kilograms or 5 kilograms per mu. Even if we finally increase it, it will be wasted. I have participated in There were so many banquets, with more than a dozen or twenty kinds of dishes. I ate a little of each dish and threw away the rest. Now I would like to suggest that the government introduce laws and regulations to treat waste as a shameful act and a criminal act.There will be a fine after payment. We once desperately longed for a life with \”no worries about food and clothing\”, but after going through all kinds of hardships and realizing our wish, we quickly forgot the preciousness of food. \”Who would have thought that every grain of rice on the plate is hard work.\” This is a poem in primary school textbooks, but we adults have long been indifferent to it. Every grain of rice is really hard-earned, including plowing the ground, sowing seeds, raising seedlings, irrigating and transplanting rice seedlings, preventing insects, resisting drought, topdressing fertilizers, harvesting, removing rice husks, washing rice… How many days do we get up early and wait until dark, how many times are we under the scorching sun, how many people work hard …that’s how I got this grain of rice. However, such hard-earned food was finally thrown away one by one, one by one, and one by one. Don’t you really feel it’s a pity? Many people don’t know that food production comes at the expense of the environment: agricultural production is the most water-intensive and intensive activity for humans; the expansion of cultivated land has significantly damaged the original ecosystem; the food wasted in China every year is used of water is equivalent to the water consumption of the entire country of Canada; discarded food, during transportation, dumping, and destruction, not only wastes manpower and material resources, but also produces a lot of greenhouse gases and increases the burden on the earth… Yes, when we are here When you buy a bag of rice and a few cabbage in the supermarket, you have to know that what you are buying is food and the earth\’s resources. If we all save a little and don\’t waste, the country can save a lot of money spent on food and use it in places where it is more needed – building Hope Primary Schools, building public facilities, increasing national defense capabilities, researching and developing chips… let this The country is better. If so much food is not wasted, some farmers can do other meaningful things – growing flowers, building buildings, doing housework… to make our lives better. Also, saving food will reduce cultivated land, water, and food waste, and our natural environment will be better. So, from now on, start from yourself and save every grain of food. When ordering takeout, order according to your appetite and don\’t be greedy for more or leave any leftovers. The money is yours, but the resources belong to everyone. When we throw away food we don’t want to eat, we need to know that you are not only wasting your own money, but also the earth’s resources. When eating a buffet, take less each time and take more as often as you feel you are full. Don’t insist on “eating back your money”, which wastes food and damages your body. When you go to a restaurant to invite people to a meal, be sure to control the portion of the food and not eat enough. Try to pack the finished meals as much as possible, and don’t be too ostentatious. The concept of “the more leftovers means more dignity” is too low and has become outdated long ago. Knowing how to cherish food is the embodiment of high quality; when eating at home, the meals prepared should be Eat in moderation, don’t be afraid of not having enough. Nowadays, no one is lacking in nutrients. It’s better to eat a little less than to eat too much. Educate your children to cherish food from an early age, don’t waste it no matter where they eat, and develop good habits; in supermarkets or grocery stores When you encounter discounted fresh food that is not in good quality, you can buy it appropriately. Saving food is a virtue and not a shame… Let\’s do small things together in our trivial life, and more and more food will be eaten. Save it. This is really important. In this era, squandering is not glory, but moderation is a higher virtue.
