　　Have you ever checked the label on a milk container and worried that it was expired? Maybe you opened it and smelled the milk, and believed it was OK. Then, you bravely took a sip, and it turned out that the milk tasted exactly the same as it did the previous day.

　　你是否曾經查看牛奶容器上的標籤，擔心它過期了？或許你打開它，聞一聞牛奶，認為味道還可以。於是，你勇敢地喝了一口，結果牛奶的味道嚐起來和前一天的完全一樣。

　　When someone walks into a supermarket and looks at the labels on food, they are often not interested when the final date is close. The problem is that a lot of food goes to waste because of this.

　　有人走進超市看著食物上的標籤時，他們常常對快過期的不感興趣。問題是有很多食物因為這樣而浪費。

　　WeFood, a supermarket in Copenhagen, Denmark, is trying to change this. All the food in its store is 50% cheaper than other grocery stores, but this is because all the food is past the expiration dates. WeFood aims to attract two kinds of people ─ low-income customers and those concerned about waste.

　　位於丹麥哥本哈根的超市 ── WeFood，正試圖改變這種情形。店內所有食物的價格都比其他雜貨店便宜 50%，但這是因為所有的食物都過期了。WeFood 旨在吸引兩種人購買 ── 低收入的顧客和那些關切食物浪費的人。

　　Overall, Denmark is doing a good job of lowering food waste. Over the past five years, waste has gone down by 25%. If WeFood catches on, this type of grocery store could be a hit around the world.

　　總的來說，丹麥在減少食物浪費上做得很好。過去五年來，食物浪費已經降低了 25%。如果 WeFood 成為趨勢，這類型的雜貨店將在全球各地受到歡迎。
