        It is Oct. 24. You pick up a bottle of milk. You see "Best Before Oct 23" on it. What do you do with it? Most people just throw it away. It's a big waste.

        The United Nations says that over one third of food goes to the trash. But 795 million people on Earth don't have enough to eat. To change this, people have come up with great ideas. After all, the best place for food is our stomachs, not the trash.

        People say, "There's no such thing as a free lunch." But they are wrong. Recently," share fridges" have come to cities like Shanghai and Quanzhou, Quick meals,' milk, cookies and cakes are staying in the fridges. It is just like your fridge at home. The food comes from families and shops nearby. And it is free for every passerby to enjoy. This great idea from the popular "food bank" practice.

    In many people's eyes, food past its sell—by date(保质期) becomes junk. But a company from the UK thinks differently. There is a "Best Before Date" on the food bag. Before that date, the quality (质量) is the best. But after that date, the food can be still OK to eat.

        So, the Real Junk Food Project, a British company, gets such food from supermarkets and puts it in cafes again. They don't give the food a rice. You can give the amount of money you like if you don't want to spend money, you can help work there.
