中國(guó)人一直非常注重吃。眾所周知的俗語(yǔ)“民以食為天”，吃飯是最大的民生?？煽诤蜖I(yíng)養(yǎng)的食物一直被當(dāng)作日常生活的基本要素。中國(guó)烹飪文化源遠(yuǎn)流長(zhǎng)，起源于商周，距今大約3500年。在漫長(zhǎng)的發(fā)展過程中，中國(guó)菜肴逐漸分為了南北兩大口味以適應(yīng)不同的飲食習(xí)慣。

? ? ? ?雖然目前我國(guó)的溫飽問題已經(jīng)得到普遍解決，但一些餐館和學(xué)校餐廳食物浪費(fèi)現(xiàn)象十分嚴(yán)重。勤儉節(jié)約是中國(guó)的傳統(tǒng)美德。厲行節(jié)約，反對(duì)浪費(fèi)不是某一個(gè)人的事，也不是某個(gè)群體的事，我們每一個(gè)人都有節(jié)約的義務(wù)和責(zé)任。因此，直到今天，我們的美德一直受到外國(guó)人的稱贊。
