According to grandparents, when they were young, they ate entirely by manpower, such as reclaiming land, transplanting rice seedlings, weeding, fertilizing and harvesting ... sometimes they all had blood bubbles on their hands. And look at the weather, the grain output itself is not high. In case of early disaster or insect disaster, not only the hard work will be wasted, but also the food will not be collected. So we eat sparingly every day. Counting, we never eat dry rice when we can drink porridge, and we never eat much when we can save a bite. Usually they eat two or two meters a day, which is equivalent to a bowl of rice now. At that time, the whole family had to eat this kind of meal all day. Eating a bowl of rice is their greatest wish.
What about us? Nowadays, science and technology are developed, and various new scientific planting methods and machinery are widely used, which greatly relieves people's hard work and improves grain output. But machinery is also operated by people. It is impossible for people to stay at home and the machinery works by itself, right? So the amount of labor is reduced, not gone.
Every grain of rice we eat still needs someone to pay for it. After all, there will be no food falling from the sky. Now some people think that it doesn't matter if you eat more anyway. If these people are allowed to experience growing a season of food by themselves, I believe they will understand something. In fact, I often don't eat rice in a bowl at home, which wastes a lot of food. I will reflect on it in the future!
In short, we should advocate economy and oppose extravagance and waste. Whenever we pick up the bowl and look at the rice in the bowl, we should always remind ourselves that "a porridge and a meal are hard to come by"!
