A

An average 30-year-old person who has eaten three meals a day

since birth has eaten more than 30,000 meals to date.Even if you've only

eaten half that much have to admit this：you've let some of that breakfast,

lunch or dinner go to waste.And it turns out we're all to blame for this

shaming fact：30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted

or lost.That's about 1.3 billion tons, according to a new report by the

UN Food and Agriculture Organization.

That's the weight of more than 8.6 million full-grown blue whales,

the largest creatures on earth. That's the weight of more than 2.3 million

Airbus A380s, the largest planes in existence.That's as if each person in

China, the world's most populous country with more than 1.3 billion

people, had one ton mass of food thrown into the dustbin. It's almost

unfathomable,_isn't it?

Setting aside that big number，we find the people with the most

money are the ones who waste the most.On average, a person in

European and North American countries wastes between 95 and 115

kilograms of food.Sub－Saharan African，South Asian and Southeast

Asian countries waste much，much less－between 6 and 11 kilograms per 人教版高中英语必修四

4 person.

Here's another statistic：all the food that the world's richest countries

waste is about equal to all the food that sub-Saharan Africa produces. The

numbers：222 million tons and 230 million tons, respectively (分别地)．Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African

continent. And these numbers come as we've just been reporting about

rising food prices around the world in the past week.

And my own personal tip：if I eat at a restaurant and can't finish it

all，I ask for a doggie bag.I used to be a waiter years ago and will never

forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was

paid.There's no reason to waste food.It's up to all of us to use our

common sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely.
