安徽省合肥市六校2019-2020学年高二上学期英语期末考试试卷
Do you ever throw away food at home? Have you ever thought about what happens to the food that shops and supermarkets don't sell? Well, you might be shocked to find out that about one third of food produced for humans gets wasted. What's more, around 800 million people in the world don't live a healthy life for lack of food.
Many people in the UK and across the world are trying to do something with this situation. They are trying their best to make use of eatable food that is thrown away.
For example, there is a coffee bar in Leeds (UK) whose meals are all cooked with unsold food from supermarkets. The spare food is turned into delicious food to feed the hungry people of Leeds. Customers just pay what they can afford or help the bar wash something. In just ten months, 10, 000 people were fed at this bar.
Besides, the UK's first food waste supermarket opened last year. The supermarket works on a “pay as you feel” basis. Customers pay whatever they want. Some lowincome families have said that it has changed their lives.
“Fuel for School” is another food waste project. Spare food from supermarkets such as dairy, vegetables, fruit and bread is used to feed hungry schoolchildren whose families may not be able to afford to buy them lunch.
More coffee bars like Leeds are being opened in other parts of the UK such as Bristol and Manchester, and it is now becoming a worldwide event.
I think this is an amazing step as food waste is one of the world's biggest problems. I also believe that the law should be changed, so that supermarkets don't throw away so much good food.
