6.Even in the fanciest pizza restaurant,you will never feel weird if you ask for a box to take your leftovers (剩飯)home.In Italy,that will soon apply everywhere,with a new law that encourages restaurants to give people doggy bags,although in Italy it's called a"family bag."
The new law is designed to reduce food waste and open doors to companies wishing to donate wasted food.Family bags were made to avoid embarrassment at asking for leftovers,turning it from begging into good behavior.
In the U.S.,taking uneaten food home is normal.In the U.K.it is fairly common.To the south,though,this practice is rare.In Spain and Italy,people might take the bones from their meat and give them to their dogs,but culturally,it's not the done thing.Also,there aren't often many leftovers,as dishes are sized according to how much people will actually eat and are rarely too big to finish unless you over-order.
In France,the laws are tougher.Last year,the French began to forbid supermarkets to throw away food.They must either give it away to charity,or make it available to be used as animal feed and compost(堆肥),If they fail to follow the law,they will be fined.
Perhaps Italy's new law is right.Food waste is now attracting international attention,but the only way to really stop it lies in weather individuals are willing to change their ways.If it becomes socially unacceptable to waste food,or to serve a huge portion in restaurants,then we have a chance.
