We were in a supermarket, and the trash can at the back found that it was full of bread and other foods. The quantity and freshness were not like daily garbage, and many of them were thrown away, even a whole piece of bread. Looks like we can eat a few more meals Why did you throw them away? Are Americans so wasteful?

In American supermarket chains and restaurants, it is stipulated that food should be thrown away after more than two hours. In the past, some people used these foods for a long time, which may cause diarrhea or gastroenteritis. When they enter the hospital dining room, they have to pay huge compensation to customers, and their reputation will be seriously affected. Therefore, it is stipulated that all foods that have not been bought for more than two hours should be thrown away, and employees are also prohibited from taking these foods home or giving them to friends.

Not only that, in American supermarkets, take carrots as an example, and you will find that each carrot is the same size. What's going on here? It turns out that under the standardized process, in order to meet the standards of supermarkets, the appearance is not enough? Beautiful? Our carrots will be removed, which is a great waste. Strange-looking fruits will be abandoned on farms and even have no chance to enter supermarkets.

Besides, American shopping habits are a bit scary. They will fill the shopping cart without leaving any gaps. Why did you buy so much? Because there are many discounts in American supermarkets, such as 10% discount for three bottles of drinks and 30% discount for six bottles. Although it doesn't look like much, in order to catch up with the promotion, all kinds of shopping carts will be piled up. This will lead to a bad habit, that is, buying a lot of food supplies, then eating half of it yourself and throwing away half. This shows that food waste in the United States is really scary.
