happening? And how can we solve this problem?

Recently, there are a large amount of food wasted that should be diminished. This is one of the controversial problem. This essay will look at causes and measures of this issue.

To be illustration, food is provided in supermarket with large amount compared to smaller the consumption levels. Secondly, some types of food will not remain for a long time if they are not preserved by the right way. For example, fresh pork must be put the icebox.  Food out of expired date will be spoiled. Some busy families may buy a vast amount of food can be easier to out of expired period. Now food industry has developed rapidly in term of encouraging people to use more food. Televisions movie now broadcast many food programs to promote their food brands with flavorful taste which encourage people to buy food more food to satisfy their mouth but after realizing the flavor that are different from their expectation, these people have tendency to dispose the food.

This can be appeared on the news or television programs to draw the public attention on the problem.  Moreover, heavy tax also a measure that can raise the price of food. By doing this, people can keep more attention to their buying behavior. The production of food need to rebalance with the demand which base on market research. For instance, supermarket director can sell more pork than chicken if pork is selling fast. Therefore, government can decrease the amount of wasted food.
