Recently, all parts of the country are striving to create a civilized city. "National Civilized City", which will be selected and commended every three years, and "National Civilized Model City", which will be selected for the first time from 2023, are the honorary titles reflecting the overall level of civilization of the city, and also the embodiment of the city brand with high gold content and great influence.

"Civilized table" is an important content of creating a civilized city. At present, there are many places in the country to "advocate civilized table, stop food and beverage waste" into the action plan to create a civilized city. For example, Xiamen Municipal Civilization Office issued the Xiamen Municipal Work Plan to Stop Food and Beverage Waste and Cultivate Saving Habits, which included the stop food and beverage waste into the standard of civilization creation, and included the typical food and beverage waste into the negative list of various activities; The market supervision department of Xuancheng City focuses on deepening the achievements of building Xuancheng national civilized city, and continues to carry out civilized table action with the theme of "practicing thrift and opposing food and beverage waste". Zhangzhou issued Zhangzhou < Operation Manual of National Civilized City Evaluation System > Responsibility Breakdown Table, insisting on integrating the work of preventing food and beverage waste into the concrete action of building a national civilized city; The market supervision bureau of Ejin Horo Banner of Ordos City takes the opportunity to deepen the construction of civilized cities in the country, and puts the stop of food and beverage waste into normal management; Nanning City combined with the national civilized city, the national health city to create a common index, to comprehensively stop food and beverage waste work. The above-mentioned cities took the opportunity of "creating cities" to promote the formation of a social trend of "practicing strict economy and opposing waste", and achieved good results.

At the same time, it should be noted that, with the recovery of the restaurant industry in various places, the "waste on the tip of the tongue" has resumed in some places. Since March this year, the State Administration for Market Regulation has carried out a special action to stop food and beverage waste in the field of market supervision across the country. Market supervision departments at all levels have corrected and investigated a number of illegal acts of food waste caused by food and beverage service units that did not take the initiative to remind them, and published a number of typical cases. Thus, it can be seen that it takes a long time to build a civilized city and to advocate a civilized table.

Table civilization is not only a miniature of social civilization, but also an important display window of urban civilization. It is suggested that all localities take the opportunity of deepening the national civilized city construction to strengthen the work of preventing food and beverage waste, list typical food and beverage waste into the negative list of various activities, regulate the operation behavior of catering service units, carry out the selection of "civilized table demonstration shop", and inform and investigate the food and beverage waste phenomenon. At the same time, promote the change of customs and customs, refuse extravagance and waste, actively guide the public to enhance the awareness of saving, let the "CD-ROM action" deeply rooted in the people, constantly improve the level of civilized dining, help the creation of civilized city.
