World

Food

Day.The

UN

started

the

dayin

1979.It's

used

to

remind

people

not

to

waste

food

andfight

hunger.A

big

number

people

，

more

than

1

to

the

still

don't

is

a

big

are

several

reasons

why

there

are

foodshortages.First

，there

have

been

more

droughts(干旱

)and

floods

recently.Also

，

a

growing

populationmakes

feeding

everyone

more

difficult.Another

big

reason

is

food

waste.Most

people

don'trealize

how

much

food

they

throw

away

everyday.Sometimes

we

cook

too

much，and

it

goes

badbecause

we

don't

need

all.The

average(平均的)personthrows

away

50

kg

of

food

every

year.According

to

theUN，more

than

a

third

of

all

food

worldwide

goes

towaste.The

amount

of

wasted

in

Europe

can

feed

200million

people，and

the

food

wasted

in

Latin

Americacan

feed

300

million

a

year.So

think

twice next

time

when you
