Task 2: Nowadays people waste a lot of food that was bought from shops and restaurants. Why do you think people waste food? What can be done to reduce the amount of food they throw away?

Compared with many years ago, the

amount

of

food

that has been withdrawn is increased.

This

essay will discuss the main reason for

this

behaviour and the most appropriate strategies to reduce the quantity of

food

that has been wasted. The main cause of wasted

food

in large amounts is

consumerism

attitude.

This

is meaning, that people tend to order more foods than they actually need.

For instance

, 75% is the rate of

food

wasted at Australian restaurants according to the national centre for research in 2020. Without

consumerism

culture, the level of wasted

food

would not be raised.

Therefore

, the most important cause for raised

amount

of wasted

food

from shops or restaurants is people

consumerism

tendency. Regarding the most appropriate solution to reduce the

amount

of thrown-away

food

is posing tax. Because people tend to follow the rules when there is a financial punishment. Today,

for example

, customers of Saudia Arabia restaurants have to pay additional fees, if there is the

amount

of

food

would be wasted. Without regulations like

this

, restaurant clients will order more

food

than they need to eat.

As a result

, tax is the most efficient solution to eliminate the trend of the increased

amount

of

food

wasted. In conclusion, there is a significant rise in the

amount

of restaurant and shop

food

that withdrawn.

This

essay considered that

consumerism

behaviour as the main motivation behind

food

waste.

Furthermore

, the tax is the most effective solution to reduce how much

food

would be withdrawn.
