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 production scale, grain drying basically depends on 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, rats 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 increased. People's consumption of food is becoming more and more meticulous, which leads to the loss of a large number of nutrients needed by the human body in the process of food processing, which is also a great waste of food. Sixth, waste in consumption is common. A table of vegetables, a large part of which was dumped 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 not uncommon, and some are even shocking. Eating is not only the first need 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 Now 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. In time for dinner, 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+1October1,when the reporter interviewed the food stall of People's Supermarket in downtown, a cleaner 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 cleaner pushing a car. The dishes above are all discarded leftovers, even the noodles have been thrown away. A consumer saw this and expressed his feelings: "This is because he has never tasted hunger and doesn't know how to cherish food!" Scene 2: Sadly, students waste more food in the school canteen. 165438+1At noon on October 5, the reporter went to a school canteen in downtown, and saw glistening rice and piles of leftovers on the dining table and trash can. White-flour steamed bread was thrown away after eating only a small bite, rice was only half-eaten, sausage was only half-eaten and thrown away ... At this time, four or five girls finished eating and dumped the leftovers. The staff waiting to collect bowls and chopsticks at the entrance of the canteen told the reporter: "There are many students with leftovers now, 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 was full. It is a pity that the reporter 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 untouched. Most newcomers think that in order to get by, it is most important to enjoy themselves, regardless of 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 the family members pack, they can't take much. This is nothing. " In a hotel downtown, a grand wedding banquet is being held here. In a banquet hall with more than 20 large dining tables, 10 guests sit at one table. The reporter saw that before the opening ceremony, more than 10 dishes had been put on the table. After the banquet, several hot dishes were served one after another, and the turntable of the dining table was full. The diners didn't eat much, leaving a lot of dishes. When it was time to leave, 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 withdrawal, the hotel has to pour the dishes. " Lens 4: Suitable for staying in the hotel. In the interview, the reporter found that most of the diners who choose the hotel staple food are "big eyes and small bellies". Compared with the waste of various banquets, the waste of individual guests is relatively better, 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 will always eat some in their accustomed places after coming to the hotel. However, because the dishes ordered by diners are generally greasy, plus drinking some wine, the staple food is almost full when it comes up, so the staple food is often left 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 by the window filled with wine and food, and was preparing to check out. I saw that the dining table was a mess, half of the dishes were not finished, and the two plates of chopsticks were almost untouched. The waiter who tidied 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 at the back didn't 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 fill five large swill buckets, at least hundreds of 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 FAO and WFP, in 20 10, the number of hungry people in the world was 925 million, and 1 of 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, China's slogan of "saving grain" 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's population, the world wastes enough food to feed more than 200 million people every year! !
If we don't waste food, fewer people in the world will die of hunger, 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 freeze to death" and "Who knows that every Chinese food is hard".
Solution: Suppose everyone wastes X capsules every day. Data show 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 capsule1.300 million/50,000/1 kg = 26,000 kg per day.
According to 1, two meters in the morning, three meters at noon and two meters at night, each person is six meters a day.
26,000 Jin /6 Liang = 86,666 days /365 days =237 years.
Every 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 to feed 86,666 people a day.
If each person wastes 1 capsule per day and wastes 1 year, it is 26,000 * 365 = 9.49 million kilograms.
According to high yield, 800 Jin of rice is harvested every year, and 654.38+300 million people waste one grain a day. The annual waste is 9.49 million Jin /800 Jin = 23,725 mu of land. A family's annual income is 4 mu of land in rural areas.
23725/4=593 1 family. In other words, if one year is wasted, 593 1 families will starve for one year. Let's do the math. How many families are there in a team? What kind of famine will there be?
