China, the'let's not leave food' movement is raging.

There was even a place where they put a scale at the entrance of the restaurant and ordered food according to their weight, and Beijing correspondent Kim Ji-sung reports why.

<Reporter> This

is a restaurant in Changsha City, Hunan Province in southern China.

The guests are weighed on a scale at the entrance.

Next to it is the calorie intake and recommended menu according to the weight of men and women.

I urged that personal information was protected as a measure to reduce food waste, but

[Restaurant manager: weighs only and is not linked to an official account.] The

accusations stiffened public opinion and eventually apologized.

There have also been restaurants that penalize the ordered employees if customers leave food.

It means to order only the right amount from the start.

After President Xi Jinping recently mentioned that food waste is excessive, the Chinese authorities are launching a massive campaign with the words of'waste on the tip of the tongue'.

They advised us to order one serving less than the number of people, and even enacted the Food Waste Prevention Act.

Eating broadcasts, so-called'Mokbang', were also withdrawn.

[China's state-run CCTV broadcast: Netizens point out that the time has come to manage'Mokbang'. I can't eat at all and all vomit. The waste is too much.]

The Chinese authorities are calling for food security arising from the US-China conflict and prolonged coronavirus outbreak.

[China Mental Civilization Construction Committee Officer: (In China) there are 1.4 billion people. Even if a person wastes just a spoonful of rice and a piece of vegetables, the total amount is enormous.] In

China, pork prices have recently skyrocketed due to floods that have lasted more than two months, and it is interpreted as a measure to dissatisfaction with the rise in prices. .
