Do you waste food?
How much food do you buy each week? Are you someone who fills your fridge and cupboards with treats so that you'll always have something to eat and so that you'll never go hungry?
Throwing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the developed world. While some of us throw away unwanted items, people in other parts of world face food shortages and are starving. The actual figure is 1.3 billion tons of food, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.
You may think supermarkets are mainly to blame for this mountain of food. After all, they do cast stuff that's past its sell — by — date. They've also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need. In Europe an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year. So instead of filling our bellies, our food is filling up landfill sites. Unfortunately, this causes greenhouse gases which eventually leads to global warming and climate change.
In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to tackle this problem. She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in quantity so that people bought only what they needed. She's set up an education program in schools.
And when we're at home we should make the most of the food we have — using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our extra food with our friends and neighbours.
A. People buy more than they need and throw too much away.
B. Or maybe, you're efficient with your shopping, only buying what you need.

E. We simply need to stop throwing away food and enjoy it instead.
F. This has helped create a 25% reduction in food waste.
G. It's shocking that a third of the world's food is wasted each year.
