Ugly But Delicious: Join GI & China this Thu to End Food Waste
丑陋但美味:加入中国和GI，结束食物浪费
Coindentally, the day that we sent out our last article, "Food Waste: The Much-Forgotten Global "Pandemic"", President Xi also announced his new campaign against food waste.
另外，就在我们发表最后一篇文章《食品浪费:被遗忘的全球“流行病”》的当天，习主席还宣布了他的反对食品浪费的新运动。
And no, we have no direct communication with his team. But we are not complaining - food waste is an extremely serious problem that needs the Chinese government's intervention and effective policies to tackle it.
不，我们和他的团队没有直接联系。但我们不是在抱怨——食物浪费是一个极其严重的问题，需要中国政府的干预和有效的政策来解决它。
CHINA'S NEW CAMPAIGN AGAINST FOOD WASTE
中国反对食物浪费的新运动
The 'Clean Plate' campaign comes after the massive floods that have affected the country’s traditional rice production areas and the coronavirus pandemic disrupting food supply chains.
“洗盘子”运动是在大规模洪水影响了该国传统的大米生产区和冠状病毒大流行破坏了食品供应链之后发起的。
It is common to see leftovers in restaurants, particularly at wedding banquets. "Chinese like to splurge on food when hosting guests as a sign of hospitality," said Wang Ping, an executive with an investment bank in Shanghai.
在餐馆，尤其是婚宴上，看到剩菜剩菜是很常见的。“中国人在招待客人时喜欢在食物上挥霍，这是好客的表现，”上海一家投资银行的高管Wang Ping说。
Patrons of the country’s catering industry each wasted an average 11.7 per cent of their meal, according to a report co-authored by the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research under the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2018.
中国科学院地理科学与自然资源研究所(Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research) 2018年联合撰写的一份报告显示，中国餐饮业的顾客人均浪费了11.7%的餐食。
In large gatherings, the rate rose to 38 per cent, while students threw away a third of the contents in their school lunchboxes.
在大型聚会上，这一比例升至38%，而学生们则扔掉了学校午餐盒里三分之一的东西。
Following Mr Xi's message, the Wuhan Catering Industry Association urged restaurants in the city to limit the number of dishes served to diners - implementing a system where groups must order one dish less than the number of diners. Under this system dubbed "N-1", a group of 10 people can only order 9 dishes.
听从习主席的指示后，武汉餐饮业协会敦促餐厅菜肴的数量限制为食客——实现一个系统,组织必须命令一盘不到用餐者的数量。在这个被称为“N-1”的系统中，一组10人只能点9道菜。
It's not the first time China has launched an anti food waste campaign. In 2013, the "Operation Empty Plate" campaign was launched - though that targeted extravagant feasts and reception held by officials, rather than putting the onus on the public.
这已经不是中国第一次发起反食品浪费运动了。2013年，政府发起了“空盘子行动”，但这次行动的目标是官员举办奢侈的宴会和招待会，而不是把责任推给公众。
