Critical thinking

According to a survey, every year, on average, one person throws out 50 kg of food which is still edible, a third of which is packaged products. What do you think we could do to reduce food waste?

 

Key:

1) Do not order too much in a restaurant. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.

2) Don’t be too picky about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.

3) Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially vegetables and fruit.
