What are the phenomena of wasting food in life?

At present, food waste in society is mainly manifested in the following six aspects: First, the consumption of seeds is too high. Due to the influence of low germination rate and backward technology, the amount of seeds used is too large. Second, the loss of harvesting is amazing. Due to the poor quality of harvesting machinery and equipment, rough harvesting and small-scale production, grain drying is basically carried out in the open air, resulting in grain loss. Third, the storage link suffered serious losses. Farmers' grain storage facilities are very simple and vulnerable to insects, mice and molds. Fourth, the loss and waste of transportation links are great, and losses such as rain, leakage, pollution and rough handling occur from time to time during packaging, loading and unloading and operation. Fifth, the loss and waste of processing links have increased. People are becoming more and more sophisticated in food consumption, which leads to the loss of a large number of nutrients needed by the human body during food processing, which is also a great waste of food. Sixth, the phenomenon of waste in consumption is widespread. A table of vegetables, a large part of which was poured into the trash can; It is common to throw away half or the whole steamed bread in the school cafeteria. From individuals and families to school canteens and restaurants, food waste is widespread, and some are even shocking. Eating is not only the first demand of people's life, but also the basic guarantee of health. Nothing in the world is more important than eating. However, the reporter found that the phenomenon of wasting food is serious now. As long as you pay a little attention, you will find that this phenomenon is not uncommon in life. Lens 1: Food stalls Nowadays, people's living standards have improved. When they are tired of shopping, they will stop at food stalls. One is to rest, and the other is to eat. When it was time to catch up with the meal, people came and went in the food stalls. However, I wonder if you have noticed that there are many wasters among these leisure consumers. 1 65438+1October1day, when the reporter interviewed the food stall of the People's Supermarket in Shizhong District, a cleaning staff said helplessly: "It's a pity to see a lot of leftovers thrown away every day." Soon after, the reporter came to the newly opened food stall in Guangming City and saw the cleaning staff pushing a car. The plates above were full of abandoned leftovers, and even bowls of noodles were thrown away. When a consumer saw this scene, he expressed his feelings: "This is the taste that he has never tasted hunger, and he doesn't know how to cherish food!" Lens 2: Sadly, the phenomenon of students wasting food is more serious in the school canteen. 165438+1At noon on October 5, the reporter went to a school canteen in downtown, only to see glistening rice and piles of leftovers on the dining table and trash can. The white-flour steamed bread was thrown away after only a sip, the rice was not finished after eating half a bowl, and the sausage was thrown away after eating half ... At this time, four or five girls finished eating and dumped the leftovers. The staff waiting at the entrance of the canteen to collect bowls and chopsticks told the reporter: "There are many students with leftovers, and waste does exist. After almost every meal, students who eat have to' make' several barrels of leftovers. " The reporter stayed in the canteen for less than half an hour, and saw the women workers who picked up the tableware kept pouring the leftovers from the tableware into the bucket. Soon, a bucket of water was full. The reporter felt very sorry when he saw the steamed bread, rice and fish in the abandoned bucket. The woman who picked up the chopsticks said, "It's like this every day. It is really unbearable. " Lens 3: Wedding Banquet Some people pay attention to ostentation and extravagance at wedding banquets, and the phenomenon of wasting food is more serious. Many dishes at the wedding banquet were dumped almost without any action. Most newcomers think that it is the most important thing to enjoy themselves in order to get by, and they don't care how much money they waste on meals. The higher the price, the higher the leftover rate of the wedding banquet. A woman who has hosted a wedding banquet is also very helpless: "Everyone knows the truth of saving and not wasting, but the waste of wedding banquets is hard to avoid. Even if family members pack, they can't take much with them. There is nothing to do. " In a hotel downtown, a grand wedding banquet is being held. In a banquet hall with more than 20 large dining tables, 10 guests sit at a table. The reporter saw that more than 10 dishes had been placed on the table before the opening ceremony. After the banquet, several hot dishes were served one after another, and the turntable of the dining table was full of people. The diners didn't eat much, leaving a lot of dishes. When it was time to cancel the order, the waiter almost removed the whole table. A waiter told the reporter: "This table costs more than 700 yuan, and a wedding banquet 10 guests can't finish it at all, and most of them can't even finish half the dishes. Some guests will pack some untouched meals, but most of them are wasted. After the evacuation, the hotel had to dump the food. " Lens 4: Fit in the Hotel In the interview, the reporter found that most diners who choose staple food in the hotel are "big eyes and small bellies". Compared with the waste of various banquets, the waste of individual guests is relatively good, but the phenomenon of wasting staple food is more prominent. The reporter came to a hotel, and most of the dining tables already had guests. The reporter walked around the hall with scattered seats and saw that several tables of dishes that the waiter had not had time to clean up were basically finished, but each table was more or less left with some staple foods such as noodles and rice. After a while, the waiter came to clear the table and naturally dumped all these staple foods. The reporter saw that two diners had just finished their meal and checked out. They ordered two dishes and a plate of jiaozi. A plate of fish is clean, but there are many in jiaozi. The hotel manager told the reporter that because many people have the habit of eating staple food, they always order some in their accustomed places after they come to the hotel. However, because the dishes ordered by diners are generally greasy and they drink some wine, when the staple food comes up, they are almost full, so the staple food is often put there after eating two bites. The reporter went to a mid-range restaurant for an interview. Just in time for dinner, almost every table in the store is full of customers. The reporter looked around and saw a table near the window filled with wine and food, and was preparing to check out. I saw a mess on the dining table, half of the dishes were not finished, and the two plates of chopsticks were almost untouched. The waiter who cleaned up the dishes told the reporter that there were six people at this table, all of whom were mainly drinking, and half of the dishes served later did not move much. The slogan "save food" can't be lost. How serious is this food waste? The manager of a medium-sized hotel told the reporter: "The kitchen waste that our hotel has to deal with every day can be filled with five large swill buckets, at least several hundred kilograms. For a large number of meals thrown away every day, employees working in restaurants and hotels have become indifferent, because this waste happens every day and almost turns a blind eye. " According to the annual report issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Food Programme, the number of hungry people in the world in 20 10 was 925 million, and 1 person in every 7 people in the world was still hungry. It is understood that China, with a population of over1300 million, is the largest grain importer and exporter in the world. However, it must be admitted that we are also a big food-deficit country. As early as the 1960s and 1970s, the slogan of "saving grain" in China was very loud, emphasizing "returning grain to warehouse", and people were proud of saving every grain. By 2 1 century, people's living standards have generally improved, and the days of starvation are gone forever, but the slogan of "saving food" should still be heard, and "saving glory and wasting shame" cannot be an outdated slogan.

Supplement: According to the estimation of relevant departments, China wastes enough food to feed 50 million people every year. What an amazing waste!

Therefore, if China has 65,438+0.5 of the world population, the world wastes enough food to feed more than 200 million people every year! !

If we don't waste food, fewer people will die of hunger in the world, at least there will be no beggars begging. ...

Anyway, I was very angry and impressed. I can't help but think of the poems of Du Fu and Li Shen in the Tang Dynasty: "The wine and meat in Zhumen stink, and the bones on the road are frozen" and "Who knows that the food on the plate is hard."

Solution: Suppose everyone wastes X grains every day. The data shows that the weight of 50,000 grains of rice is 1kg.

The following 65.438+0.3 billion people will waste every day: 65.438+0.3 billion * x/50,000 /654.38+0 kg.

Simplify the assumption that each person wastes 1 capsule10.30 billion capsules/50,000 capsules/1 kg = 26,000 kg per day.

According to 1, two meters in the morning, three meters at noon, two meters at night, six meters per person per day.

26,000 kg /6 Liang = 86,666 days /365 days =237 years.

Each person wastes a grain of rice every day, which is enough for one person to eat for 237 years and 237 people to eat 1 year! Enough for 86,666 people to eat every day.

If each person wastes 1 capsule per day and wastes 1 year, it will be 26,000 * 365 = 9.49 million kilograms.

According to the calculation of high yield, 800 Jin of rice is harvested every year, and 65.438+0.3 billion people waste a grain every day. The annual waste is 9.49 million kg /800 kg = 23,725 mu of land. The annual income of a family is calculated according to 4 mu of rural land.

23725/4=593 1 family. In other words, if we waste one year, 593 1 family will go hungry for one year. Let's do the math. How many families are there in a team? What kind of famine will there be?
