The UN started the day in 1979. Its used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger.A big number of people in the world still dont have enough food to eat. Food shortage(匮乏) is a big problem worldwide. Right now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First,there have been more droughts(干旱) and floods recently. Also,a growing population makes feeding everyone more difficult.Another big reason is food waste. Most people dont realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes we cook too much, or we dont use it goes bad. The average(平均的) person throws away 50kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste each year.That is over 1,300,000 million kilograms of food being wasted. The amount of food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America can feed 300 million a year.So think twice next time you want to throw away food.By cutting down on food waste, we could help put food on the empty plates of some hungry children. Only order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you cant eat all you order, take the rest home. Dont be too picky about food so that you dont leave any on your plate. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Dont buy too much. Dont cook too much.When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources(资源) are also wasted while growing, transporting and cooking the food. These things all take energy, time and water.title:_on World Food Daythe UNs _to start this dayto remind people not to waste food and fight hungerfacts of food shortageOver 1,000 million people are hungry each year.15 million children die of hunger each year.reasons for food shortagemore droughts and floods nowa growing populationFood wasteworldwide_of it each year The average person throws away 50kg of food.

Like most other things in the modern world, it is the result of thousands of years of human invention.First, came the invention of writing,_(probable) about 5500 year ago. With writing, people did not have to remember everything in their heads.

They were called scrolls(卷轴).They were different to use and took a lot of space in a library. About 2,000 years ago, books with lots of pages _(invent).For more than a thousand years, the pages of books were made from animal skin.
