The bar chart illustrates the website traffic from a community site during its first and second years of publication. Overall, both years’ traffic followed the same pattern, in which monthly visit counts for the first year were mostly lower than those of the second one, with the only exception of August.

Regarding the first year of use, the number of visits started September at nearly 2,000. After this, it increased significantly to 10,000 and leveled off for the following year. This was followed by a sharp plummet to just over 2,000 in March, before recovering moderately to a peak of 15,000 in August.

Turning to the second year, a dramatic surge was witnessed within the first three months, which ascended from around 4,000 in September to 17,500 counts in November. Subsequently, after dropping relatively to 10,000 by March, it then increased rapidly to reach the highest point of over 22,500 in June and July, followed by a sudden plunge to roughly 13,000 in the last month.

Question: Nowadays people waste a lot of food that was bought from shops and restaurants. Why do you think people waste food? What can be done to reduce the amount of food they throw away

(IELTS Academic – 5/11/2022)

ANSWER:

The predicament regarding consumers discarding a high level of food has existed for many years. This might be the consequence of kitchen behaviours and mass buying; however, intervention from the authorities can help mitigate the problem.

Perhaps, the main causes for this food-wasting society are large serving sizes and irresponsible shopping habits. One possible catalyst is oversized meals. In fact, restaurateurs often ask their kitchen staff to cook big portions or promote the sales of food combos for profit maximisation. Thus, the large serving portions often exceed the stomach capacity of most diners, resulting in many of them being unable to finish their dish, particularly children and women. Another cause is bulk purchase deals from grocery stores. Supermarkets are notorious for discounting products that are bought in higher quantities. For example, Costco often sells five packs of chips for a discount price. However, because of having a short shelf life, a household may not be able to finish the excessive quantity of chips before its use-by date.

Nonetheless, these problems can be effectively countered effectively by actions from lawmakers. The first solution should be the promotion of educational campaigns. The government needs to run public service advertising to educate people about the need to avoid thoughtless shopping and ordering. A public awareness campaign is organised in many states of America to list down any necessary groceries on paper notes or mobile applications to avoid making unnecessary purchases. Another solution involves the operation of law. Food retailers and food vendors should be legally required to cease the promotion of bulk offers. As a result, these actions can help them to avoid impulsive shopping and by extension food waste.

In conclusion, the disposal of a large level of foodstuffs may be caused by the sales of large meal portions in restaurants and quantity discount. Where possible, consumer education about the risk of food waste and a ban on bulk pricing can effectively tackle the problem. (322 words)
