**Task 2**
Individuals waste plenty of food which is bought in markets, restaurants or cafes in some regions of the world. This is happening due to several people preferring to eat out or consume pre-prepared food, and it might be solved by packing leftover food and taking it home.
The main cause of this problem is that many people prefer to eat out. Most people are reluctant to cook, as they do not want to waste time making a dish. Moreover, a few individuals think that they are not good at cooking. That is why they prefer to consume pre-prepared food. This situation leads to wasting food. Sometimes, people cannot eat all of the dish in restaurants. Therefore, the rest of the food is thrown away. This situation is considered wastefulness. For example, in Azerbaijan, a lot of food which is cooked in restaurants is thrown away.
The most realistic solution to prevent this issue can be found and applied by the government. Plenty of individuals are not aware of this situation. The government can raise awareness about the dissipation of food. Therefore, if people are informed, they may pay attention to this topic. In addition, people may want to pack the rest of the food, thus consuming leftover food. For example, in Turkey, people request to pack the rest of the food, and this step avoids wastefulness.
In conclusion, the main cause behind food waste in some countries is that people prefer to eat out, and it may be tackled by packing the rest of the food and taking it home.
