The Chinese penchant for purchasing more food than necessary, especially in restaurants, is linked to our obsession with image. It can't be easily abolished but should be chipped away a block at a time to give way to common sense.
Every Chinese student is taught this Tang Dynasty poem:
Farmers weeding at noon, sweat down the field soon. Who knows food on a tray, thanks to their toiling day.
