A large spread of ingredients destined for the trash. This was all rescued by volunteers in London. Because of food handling laws, there's no meat. Nevertheless, it's transformed into free healthy meals and served to many living in social isolation and poverty. FoodCycle is a charity with close to thirty hubs across the UK. The UN estimates that roughly a third of all food produced for humans goes uneaten.
這一桌桌數(shù)量龐大的食材終究難逃被扔進(jìn)垃圾箱的命運(yùn)。然而，倫敦的志愿者們將其全部回收利用了起來。由于食品操作法的相關(guān)條例，他們發(fā)放的食物中不包括肉類。盡管如此，志愿者們把這些原本會(huì)被浪費(fèi)掉的食物做成了免費(fèi)健康的飯菜，送到很多與社會(huì)隔離的人和貧困的人們手中。發(fā)起這次活動(dòng)的是在全英擁有近三十家分站的慈善機(jī)構(gòu) FoodCycle “食物循環(huán)”。據(jù)聯(lián)合國(guó)估算，約有三分之一為人類生產(chǎn)的食物會(huì)淪為剩飯。
