The U.S.food supply is the most varied and abundant in the world.Americans spend a smaller share of their disposable income(可支配收入)on food than citizens of any other country and choose from an average of 50,000 different food products on a typical outing to the supermarket.In 1994, the fowl supply provided an estimated 3, 800 calories (卡路里) per person per day, enough to supply every American with more than one and a half times their average daily energy needs.Given this abundance, few of the Nations resources have traditionally been devoted to measuring or reducing food waste.
In recent years, growing concern about hunger, resource conservation, and the envi-ronmental and economic costs associated with food waste have raised public awareness of food loss.This in turn has accelerated public and private efforts to make better use of a-vailable food supplies by recovering safe and nutritious (有营养的)food that would other-wise be wasted.
Of course, not all food that is lost is suitable for consumption.Some losses - like the condemnation of diseased animals at the slaughtering house (屠宰场), or the discard of rotten fruit from the produce shelf at the supermarket are necessary to ensure the safety and health of the U.S.food supply.Such foods are not recoverable for human, use.
Likewise, plate fragments are appropriately discarded at eating establishments out of health considerations.In addition, not all food that is 10st is economically recoverable.Food recovery efforts are often limited by financial restraint.s that make it difficult-to match recovered food with potential recipients.
Nevertheless, large quantities of healthy, edible food are lost at every stage of the marketing system.Example of such losses include meats, bread, and other foods prepared by a restaurant or hotel but never served and the discard of defected or over-ripe produce, which may be difficult to sell out for some reasons, but are otherwise nutritious and safe.
第 16 题 The problem in America that the author is talking about in this passage is large a-mounts of food are lost in American.

A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
