What did you learn about dietary choices from using the footprint calculator? Now imagine that you could translate what you learned into an effective societal policy on food- what would it be? And how would this policy effect the need to alleviate world hunger?
925 million people on earth do not have enough to eat according to the FAO [Food and Agricultural Organization]. That's almost 1 in 7 inhabitants of our planet!

Start to save the food
Chinese like kind of thing called mianzi, usually expressed as "face", specially on the table. I can say in this way, Chinese cause waste because of the mianzi. But I'm not saying mianzi is a bad thing, there are two sides to everything.
Everytime they went to restaurant, they waste the food. They always order as much as they can, even they know they cannot eat all of them, and they never take the leftovers back to home, because they think it will make themselves lost faces. Think about it, if one person go to restaurant and waste 1 kg of food, what about 1300000000 people go the restaurant and each one waste 1 kg, what is the total number they wasted? Easy arithmectic problem huh, but the reality is far more than this.
So we have to change our way to life, we can just take the leftover back home, then we can save hundreds of millions of food.
