In many countries large amounts of foods are wasted. Why do you think people waste food in this way? What can be done to reduce the amount of food thrown away?

A common topic discussed nowadays is

food

waste

. Several

countries

tend to misuse their

food

supply by putting it into the bin. I believe that many people do

this

because they do not know the value of

food

.

Moreover

, the

food

and beverages sector tends to have exaggerated doses of products that without being consumed are going directly into the trashcan.

Countries

that are accustomed to wasting

food

are often rich, there, people do not value what they eat. Many take

food

for granted and

therefore

, if they do not finish their meal, tend to

waste

it by putting it into the trashcan.

Moreover

, due to the busy lifestyle of the common people, fast foods are really popular and they are the

first

causes of

food

waste

.

For example

. It is known that every item of Mcdonald's

that is

not consumed by a customer goes directly into the bin, producing a really important

food

waste

every day. To solve these problems, I believe that there should be a wide manoeuvre done by the governments of those

countries

. They should teach,through schools, the importance of

food

to the children. In order to let them learn that there are several

countries

of the

third

world which have an enormous lack of

food

, and their population strive for it. The

second

action that can be made is one towards the

food

sector, guiding it towards a more ruled and controlled use of

food

, preventing the exaggerated doses that restaurants and hotels serve and whose guests are never able to finish. To conclude,

although

it is really hard to prevent foodstuff

waste

, it is a really important step that the global society has to make in order to reduce pollution and to reduce important resources for which families from the

third

world beg for them.
