As a developing country, China has to feed 1.3 billion people. Therefore, every effort to stop the waste of food is of vital importance. But in some restaurants, food is commonly squandered, especially when the meals are held at public expenses. Diners commonly order too many dishes and worst, they refuse to take out “doggie bags” for fear of losing face. This mentality helps popularize extravagance.

In daily life, it is easy for you to realize the phenomenon of food waste everywhere. Perhaps you think this little bit of nothing to waste and maybe you still think our country with vast land to grow food. But the fact is that China's population has grown more than 1.3 billion, and unauthorized occupation of cultivated land, land degradation and desertification are becoming more and more serious. Absolute reality cannot be optimistic! Saving food is the obligation of every citizen.
Wasting food is shameful. People should feel sorry for themselves when they are wasting food they possess. For even though most of us can lead a good life nowadays, there are still some people living a suffering life. Just imagine when we enter McDonald‟s and KFC to enjoy luxury food, yet the poor people in countryside may just expect some little food to get rid of starvation. In fact, the aware of conservation is very simple: how much to eat a meal containing the number, do not throw leftovers. After all, every single grain is the result of toil by peasants. No one should waste it at his or her own will. At present, the government advocates people clean the plates whenever they eat. However, many of us refuse to take out “doggie bags” for fear of losing face. Thus, it is time for them to change their opinions towards it.What is sensible for public is to consider this movement as an environment-friendly action, instead of a mean behavior.Besides the measures taken by government, everyone is supposed to save food in our daily life. Especially for those who want to keep thin and only eat small portion at dinner, they tend to waste much food. So it is necessary for them to cook less in order to avoid wasting food.
In the long run, saving food cannot be accomplished at one stroke. That is to say, let the savings become a habit of us, whenever and wherever possible.
