2. Saving food
From the first day we entered the campus, the teacher taught us an ancient poem: "The hoeing day is noon, the sweat is dripping with the soil, who only dishes lunch?" "Every grain is hard," the poem said. From then on, I knew that food was hard to come by and we should save food. Because we have understood a truth since we were young. Farmers work in the fields all year round and shed a lot of sweat to water the food that we cannot live without. They work so hard, how can we not cherish food?
When you walk into the school, if you pay attention carefully, it is not difficult to find that the slop bucket in the school is full every day, with leftovers, leftovers, etc. There is rice and a whole steamed bun. Everyone who comes in front of it will use a very chic gesture to give the white steamed bun a graceful arc. Although we were born and grew up in the countryside, the food is brought by ourselves and we don’t need to spend money to buy it, but we don’t have to waste it like this. This is what our parents spent their efforts to grow under the scorching sun with their feet on the hot soil. If parents saw all this, what would they think? Besides regret, what else would they think?
Some people may say: "This is making a fuss, isn't it just a matter of grain?" Yes, although not much food is thrown away, what is thrown away is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. A person who does not cherish food People who don't care about others will not cherish anything else, and in the end they can only become a selfish person. Such people will eventually be abandoned by society, just like you throwing steamed buns into a swill bucket
Saving food is the obligation of each of our citizens, not that your life is better, you You can waste it if you can afford it. Waste is a shameful act. As long as you have a sense of frugality, it is actually very simple to do: eat as much as you can when you eat, and don’t throw away leftovers; when dining in restaurants, order the right amount of food, and don’t order lavishly or order indiscriminately; leave unfinished meals. Pack it up and take it home. Saving food should become a new fashion and a quality that people in the new era should possess.
