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.
Here's another statistic: all the food that the world's 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 we've 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 can't 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. There's no reason to waste food. It's up to all of us to use our common sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely.
文章大意:这是一篇说明文。根据联合国粮农组织的一份报告,目前全球生产出来的30%的食物在消费过程中被浪费。
1.According to the U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization, how much food do people produce each year in the
world?
