Thousands of Athenians have turned up to consume more than a ton of fruit and vegetables rejected by stores in an event that highlights the waste of food in advanced societies.
數以千計的雅典人現身一場凸顯先進社會浪費食物的活動，食用超過1噸被商店丟棄的水果與蔬菜。
Despite the overcast sky, people lined up in a central square in the Greek capital on Sunday to eat briam, a casserole medley of vegetables, such as eggplant, zucchini, carrots and potatoes, as well as a dessert of fruit salad.
儘管天空陰沉，人們週日仍在這座希臘首都的中央廣場排隊，以便吃到烤茄子、櫛瓜、胡蘿蔔與馬鈴薯等綜合蔬菜的「布里亞姆」，以及餐後甜點水果沙拉。
The event was part of a global campaign called "Feeding 5000." The organizers, global non-governmental organization Feedback, received the vegetables from farmers after they had been rejected by stores because they were misshapen, but otherwise perfectly edible, they said.
這場活動是稱為「Feeding 5000」全球行動的一部分。主辦單位、全球非政府組織「回饋」從農民處取得蔬菜，這些蔬菜因奇形怪狀而被商店淘汰，但除此之外完全可食，他們說。
