The common Chinese greeting of “Ni chi le ma?” may soon be replaced by a new greeting: “Have you cleaned your plate?”
Over the Spring Festival holiday there was a big effort to get to curb their habit of ordering too much food in restaurants because a lot of that food ended up being wasted. Holiday eaters were urged to “clean their plates “and ______ to take leftover food home in “doggy bags.”
The impetus behind the campaign was the surprising government statisticthat over 200 billion Yuan is spent every year food that ends up in the garbage bin. And in the middle of all this waste, statistics show that 128 people are living below the poor line and going hungry.
The “clean your plate” campaign is part of a worldwide effort to stop delicious food from being wasted. The United Nations discover $1 trillion(yes, that’s a very big number) worth of food is wasted each year. of that is lost during food production and transportation, ___ an important percentage is attributed to waste by people. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has started a campaign called “Think. Eat. Save.” people aware of the problem.
Chinese actress Fan Bingbing is an ambassadorfor UNEP and she encouraged people to upload of their “clean plates “to show their support for the program. Thousands of people replied and showed that they had a clear conscience to their full stomachs.
Xi Jinping, the new Chinese president, is urging people to be less wasteful and he told Party members to cut back on extra vagant holiday dinners and to be when spending the people’s money.
For some, though, Xi Jinping’s and Fan Bingbing’s advice don’t go far enough. Yuan Longping, a farming , caused a movement by saying that wasting food should be treated a crime.
If not a crime, food is certainly a sin and it goes against what Xi Jinping calls, “the Chinese tradition of being hard-working and saving.”Having a “clean plate” is just a traditional and responsible thing to do. Have you cleaned your plate?
