Food delivery apps are changing the way we eat

It’s raining, it’s dinnertime, and the fridge is nearly empty. Years ago, we made do; today, we order food through our phones. Within twenty minutes, we get whatever it was we were craving, we’re warm and dry, and there’s not a single dish to wash afterward.

Food delivery apps have altered the 【小题1】 of how eat, particularly in big cities. The industry is a complex machine; there’s Meituan, Ele.me, Hema…the list goes on. These companies are 【小题2】 and changing at a rapid rate, bringing on the rise of virtual restaurants and ghost kitchens, and customers who will never step inside a brick-and-mortar shop（实体店）.

In the US alone, packaging accounts for 30 percent of municipal solid waste. In 2017, that meant 80.1 million tons. Food delivery systems are likely 【小题4】 this huge number to rise. Durable materials like the plastics serveware is made from, are difficulty to 【小题5】 of.

Restaurant delivery is a global phenomenon – as is the impact on the environment. Meituan, one of the leading Chinese delivery platforms, delivered 6.4 billion food orders in 2018. It is estimated that China 【小题6】 1.6 million tons of packaging waste(containers, utensils, plastic bags) in 2017, nine times more than in 2015.

In the EU, University of Manchester researchers estimate, over two billion single-use takeaway containers are used every year. Most of those are not 【小题7】. According to the European Commission, packaging, which includes plastic utensils, plates, and straws, make up 70% of all 【小题8】 pollution found in European seas.

Plastic bans, 【小题9】 packaging materials, and other efforts to cut down on waste are on the rise. Food delivery apps should, too, do their part to raise awareness for plastic pollution and 【小题10】 the gap between food waste and hunger.

Nowadays, there is increasing evidence that the real driver of poor health is not so much fatty food, as it is sugar. In America, people who receive 25% of their daily 【小题1】 or more through sugar are twice as likely to die from heart disease than people who receive less than 10% a day. So if you want to be healthy, you have to cut down on 【小题2】, and cut out sweet drinks altogether. Beyond this, you can keep healthy by consuming different 【小题3】 of fresh foods, especially fruit and vegetables, which are full of vitamins and fibre, rather than processed foods, which often contain less nutrition, and have higher 【小题4】 of sugar, salt, and fat than fresh ingredients. Finally, a 【小题5】 key to healthy eating is to eat slowly.

In the USA alone there are about 13 million people calling themselves vegetarians and that number is 【小题2】 to reach 25 million by the year 2015.

Some people are becoming worried about the 【小题5】 of eating meat because of the way it is farmed. Certain chemicals are used to make animals grow fast and many animals are fed food that is not part of their natural 【小题6】.

Human beings have always eaten meat, but there is a growing 【小题8】 towards vegetarianism. Whatever the reason you have for not eating meat, vegetarianism can make much 【小题9】.
