Subsequently, Liaoning Province, Xianning City, Hubei Province, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, Xinyang City, Henan Province and many other places followed suit and advocated ordering food according to the quantity of food less than the number of diners, which was not enough.

The person in charge of several restaurants said that food waste is more likely to occur in gatherings, banquets and other scenes with a large number of people than the daily dining out of individual consumers. Advocating small meals can also reduce this waste from the source.
