.解析
文章讲述了一位法国人Baptiste Dubanchet骑自行车穿越欧洲,仅靠丢弃的食物生存,以此来提高人们对食物浪费问题的意识。他从巴黎骑到华沙,全程1900英里,历时三个月。
步骤 2:分析问题
文章中提到,餐馆每年丢弃大量的食物,但其中大部分因为被锁住的垃圾桶、健康规定或商业政策而无法获取。只有大约十分之一的地方会给他提供本应被丢弃的食物。
步骤 3:理解细节
文章还提到,对于法律原因,大多数餐馆都有禁止丢弃食物的政策。柏林对他的事业态度最友好,而捷克的皮尔森是最难的,他不得不在大约50个不同的商店或餐馆中寻找食物。考虑到从法国骑自行车到波兰所需的大量体力,这个挑战变得更加严重。
步骤 4:理解Dubanchet的解释
Dubanchet解释说,他必须快速获得食物,因为骑自行车后他很累,需要能量。他强调,重要的是他的胃是否饱了,而不是他吃什么。
步骤 5:理解Dubanchet的目标
Dubanchet的目标是在7月中旬完成他的旅程。如果幸运的话,他将吸引更多的关注。
