In China, a lot of food is wasted every year and the waste food is enough for    people. The food is wasted in restaurants, at home and in schools, etc.
In restaurants or at home, people often order or cook        food. But they can’t eat it up。When they go out of a restaurant, full and happy, they never look back        the uncertain food on the table again. Should Chinese consumers (消費(fèi)者) feel         for the terrible waste?
In schools, we can often see a lot of students       food away after meals and they only eat the food they like.
Everyone is supposed to have enough food to eat. However, in some places, the food is so little       a lot of people died from hunger. Although China has tried hard to solve      of hunger over the past thirty years, the job is not finished yet. Food is important to us all. We    live without food. So         is necessary for us to love food and try to eat up everything on our plates. When we eat in restaurants, we should pack up the leftovers(剩菜剩飯). We also need to tell other people to stop          food as soon as possible.
