Why have you been scrimping and saving recently?

I think it is very important, necessary and timely to propose saving food and opposing waste now. This is because,

First, thrift is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. Throughout the ages, our ancestors have always advocated frugality as a virtue, proud of frugality and thrifty housekeeping. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin had a famous poem, which looked at the sages of the previous dynasties and became a well-known quatrain.

Second, saving food and opposing waste are the embodiment of cherishing the fruits of labor. When weeding at noon, sweat dripped down the soil. Who knows that every meal is hard? This is the motto that children will recite from the beginning. Saving food and opposing waste is a respect for farmers' hard work and should be the virtue of everyone in China.

Third, the severe challenges facing the international and domestic markets call for saving food and opposing waste. Since the beginning of this year, the world has suffered a serious spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, which has severely hit the economies of various countries, and agricultural production and grain output have also been greatly affected. In order to prevent the food crisis, it is very necessary to advocate saving food and coping with disasters.

Fourth, in today's society, extravagance and waste are very serious in food consumption. It is common for families to throw away leftovers in restaurants. Therefore, it is very necessary and timely to advocate vigorously, shout loudly, alert the people, start from ourselves, save food and put an end to waste.
