Question

Stray cats (野貓)must have been eating like kings during holidays as they climb into the garbage bins behind some best restaurants and search for the food that people left．

Holiday dinners are times of family，friends and food…，lots of food! A meal can usually last for hours．And if there are guests，there will be even more dishes as the host wishes to show his generosity．At family dinners，most of the leftovers (吃剩的飯菜）will be eaten later，but at big dinners，the leftovers go straight into the bin．

It’s reported that 50 million tons of food，about one tenth of the total amount of grain (糧食）production of China，is wasted every year．According to China Agricultural University，that’s enough food to feed 200 million people．A lot of this waste comes from big dinners when hosts try to order expensive foods to impress their guests．

Restaurants make a lot of money from these big dinners，but some restaurant owners are shocked at the waste．They’ve started campaigns (運動)to encourage people to clean their plates．One restaurant owner says he now gives discounts to people who eat everything they order，and he also offers free bags to take home any leftovers．

A full stomach，they say，is good for the body and good for the soul (靈魂)，but wasted food can be bad for both．So，at festival times，we should order what we want，but eat everything that we order…and let the stray cats find their dinner elsewhere!
