Even if youve only eaten half that much you have to admit this: youve let some of that breakfast, lunch or dinner go to waste. And it turns out were all to blame for this shaming fact: 30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost. Thats about 1.3 billion tons, according to a new report by the UN. Food and Agriculture Organization.Thats the weight of more than 8.6 million fullgrown blue whales, the largest creatures on earth. Thats the weight of more than 2. 3 million Airbus A380s, the largest planes in existence. Thats as if each person in China, the worlds most populous country with more than 1.3 billion people, had one ton mass of food they could just throw into the dustbin. Its almost unfathomable,_isnt it?Setting aside that big number, we find the people with the most money are the ones who waste the most. Per capita (人均), European and North American countries waste between 95 and 115 kilograms of food. SubSaharan African, South Asian and Southeast Asian countries waste much, much less between 6 and 11 kilograms per person.Heres another statistic: all the food that the worlds richest countries waste is about equal to all the food that subSaharan Africa produces. The numbers: 222 million tons and 230 million tons, respectively (分别地). Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent. And these numbers come as weve just been reporting about rising food prices around the world in the past week.And my own personal tip: if I eat at a restaurant and cant finish it all, I ask for a doggie bag. I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was paid. Theres no reason to waste food. Its up to all of us to use our common sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely.1According to the UN.
