Due to the inaccurate understanding and understanding in some places and schools, there are some formalistic practices that require students to "recite rice songs and punch cards" and "waste a grain of rice to do a multiple-choice question".

According to the website of the Ministry of Education, since the release of the action plan of "Stop Food Waste and Cultivate Saving Habits" in the education system, schools all over the country have attached great importance to it and formulated targeted and operable work measures in combination with the actual situation of local schools, effectively stopping the phenomenon of food waste on campus.

The Office of the State Council Education Steering Committee reminds all local schools to accurately understand the policy connotation of stopping campus food and beverage waste, strictly follow the relevant requirements of the Action Plan, make practical moves, pay attention to actual results, do meticulous work, pay close attention to implementation, refrain from negative coping mentality, resolutely stop the unhealthy trend of formalism, and ensure that the work of stopping campus food and beverage waste is not biased or distorted, so as to really stop food and beverage waste.

Misunderstanding of cherishing food

When food is in short supply, cherishing food is an instinct. However, in today's better and better living conditions, many people lack a correct understanding of the value behind food.

At present, there is such a misunderstanding-food is bought by yourself, and throwing it away is not a waste. In fact, take a steamed bread for example, you are wasting more than the steamed bread itself. Steamed bread has many processes from wheat ripening to serving. Even if its price tag covers the previous cost, what will happen after it is wasted?

As garbage disposal, whether it is landfill or recycling, the cost behind this steamed bread will be far higher than the cost. This is a real investment, and its subsequent impact is closely related to everyone.
