Over the years, the way we carry food has changed. In the past, some food products like salt, sugar or flour were usually sold "loose (散的)" and taken home in bags. Thanks to modern technology, today a large number of packaged (包装好的) food products are seen in the market.
Food is packaged for different reasons. For example, canned products can be kept well, and the packaging can also help to improve the food safety. Other packaging is used so that some food can be easily carried, transported and sold. For fragile (易碎的) foods—such as fruit, tomatoes and cakes—they need to be packaged for the perfect condition when they reach the consumers (消费者).
Packaging may also cause several problems. First, packaging uses a lot of world's resources (资源). Hundreds of thousands of trees are cut down to provide paper and cardboard. And every year, millions of dollars are spent on packaging by food companies to catch the eye of consumers. As a result, people are likely to buy more food than they actually need. What can we do? Maybe we can ask companies to use recyclable materials for packaging. We hope to find better ways in the future.
