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?

Every day, many
people
in different parts of the world don't consume the whole meal they prepared and the leftovers are thrown away. I strongly believe that
people
are stuck in a
luxury
behaviour, so they make a large
amount
of
food
for every meal. In my opinion, the best way to decrease
this
is to teach
people
through
culture
to not cook more than their needs. Nowadays
people
are stuck in a
luxury
lifestyle due to the effects of social media and other media like TV. In the
luxury
lifestyle, families do not like to have less
food
on the table.
For example
,
people
didn't pay a lot of attention to decorating the
food
or making a large
amount
of
food
in my country four decades ago, but these days, they prefer to have a huge portion of
food
at their tables every meal. In
this
case, there will be a large
amount
of
food
that is
not eaten. To decrease
this
huge portion of thrown-away
food
, we can teach
people
through
culture
, so the
culture
will be built inside the families. The key point is to start teaching
this
culture
to the children.
For instance
, the government of my country was eager to make fastening car seatbelts a
culture
, so they tried to make that
culture
through children using animations and
also
some sort of education at school. So the children were always there to remind their parents to fasten their seatbelts. To sum up,
people
learnt a
luxury
lifestyle and
this
is the cause of cooking a large
amount
of
food
,
therefore
a lot of
food
is thrown away. To decrease the number of leftovers in each family there is a need to make a new
culture
