Food waste has become a big problem in China.
Zhou Jinsong, a canteen(食堂) manager at Central South University, said that students produce over 12 barrels(桶) of leftovers every day — each barrel stands at one meter in height. Zhou's canteen is just one of several on the campus.
According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people equates to about 50 million tons of grain every year, or 10 percent of the country's total annual grain production. This food could feed another 200 million people. What students waste every year could feed over 10 million people. Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly know how hard farmers work to provide them with the food they eat.
“Since the 1980s, when Chinese gradually became richer, food waste has been a subject of debate. But things have hardly changed over the years,” said Yu Changjiang, a sociologist at Peking University. “It's the Chinese way of showing respect to friends, often referred as Mianzi.”
But rather than tradition, huge public spending on government banquets(宴会) is also causing food waste, said Zhou Xiaozheng from the sociology department at Renmin University of China. “It's the result of widespread reception meals at government levels. It is also important that everyone thinks about how they can do their best to reduce food waste.”

We choose food to eat every day．We might know some of the reasons for the choices，but food scientist Dr．

Brian Wansink has found that we are unaware of 90% of our food decision．Here are some"big ideas"in his research on the hidden power that drives our eating．

Food for thought

In one of the studies，Dr．Wansink made volunteers eat chocolate yogurt in a dark room．He told them the yogurt was with a taste of strawberry even though they were all eating chocolate．Finally，65% of volunteers described the yogurt as having a"nice strawberry flavor!"

The research shows that our imagination has an effect on our taste．If you expect a food to taste good，it will．So take a moment before you eat your unpleasant healthy food to remind yourself that you are eating delicious fish and chips．

Our eyes eat first

How your food looks is just as important as how it tastes．Dr．Wansink gave cakes to three groups of people．The cakes were exactly the same but served in different ways．

①Group one got the cake on a nice plate．

②Group two got the cake on a paper plate．

③Group three got the cake on a piece of paper．

Dr．Wansink then asked the people how much they would pay for each cake．

①Group one who got the cake on a nice plate would pay $1.27．

②Group two who got the cake on a paper plate would pay 76 cents．

③Group three who got the cake on a piece of paper would pay 53 cents．

Take some time to make your healthy food look amazing．Cut your fruit into a flower shape and put your colourful vegetables on nice plates．This works really well for your appetite （胃口）．

Out of sight，out of stomach

Dr．Wansink also found that when people sat at the desk full of snacks，they ate 71% more of snacks a day than those sitting near a clear table．We eat what we see．As a result，put all the unhealthy food in your fridge．

Hide it and make it really hard to get to．The closer bad food is，the more you eat it．

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.

There are plenty of "energy drinks" advertisement on TV. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. They tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great and lots of people believe them!

But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But he careful not to drink too much.

Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited (限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.
