According
to a survey, the waste of food on the dining table occupies 10% of the total
grain output. Last week Meituan co-published a proposal with a number of
business organizations, calling on restaurants to stop food waste and help
develop new eating habits for customers. "Restaurants should use official
accounts on social media and live-streaming to promote and advocate food-saving
actions," the proposal said.
Meituan
and the organizations are advocating that merchants offer guidance for
consumers, including reminding them during the ordering process about the taste
of the ingredients, portion sizes and other information about the dishes, to
help them avoid food waste due to misleading information.
Catering
associations in more than 18 provinces have also joined the campaign to remove
food waste. The Wuhan Catering Association proposed an "N-1" ordering
code for restaurants in which a group of 10 diners would only order enough for
nine people. More food is only brought to the table if required. It has
inspired people to rethink their relationship with food and waste.
On
Friday, the China Cuisine Association announced that it had teamed up with Ele.
me, a food delivery platform, to launch a " half-dish plan",
encouraging restaurants to provide customers with the option to order smaller
portions. Besides, customers are encouraged to take their leftovers home.
To
reduce food waste on social media platforms, some popular video platforms have
stepped up content reviews of food-related live streams and implemented
regulation of online eating shows. Now, if users search certain keywords, such
as "eating show" or "competitive eaters", a cautionary
message pops up to remind them to cherish food and keep a reasonable
diet.
