Repletion

What did you eat at lunch? I'm going to tell about food. Do you know the amount of food waste in Japan? Our country wastes about 19 million tone food in a year. The amount equals 46 million people of developing country’s food in a year. As you know, the food self-sufficiency ratio in Japan is 40%. However, the food waste ratio is 25%. In other words, we waste one-third of the import food. The detail is general household waste 11 million tone food, store waste 8 million tone food. The amount equals the world food assistance quantity. We waste developing people’s food.

There are some kinds of disease because of repletion. The disease is called “disease of affluence. Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and obesity are disease of affluence. Cancer is the worst death in Japan. I believe patient with disease of affluence increase because I always hear names of these diseases. Diseases of affluence are not other people's affairs

Japan is a country of low food self-sufficiency and depends on import food, so we should reflect on repletion. First, we have to save food from waste. Second, we have to wrestle with reuse of the waste. Third, we have to straighten up our acts on food.
