请问句中的round out 怎么样理解？
附全部原文的上下文如下：
Likemost of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner.But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. Istuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad.Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made sixsalads with what I threw out.
Ina world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goesagainst the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s coverstory. It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away—from “ugly” vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneatendishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.
Producingfood that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to growit. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “iffood waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhousegases in the world.”
Ifthat’s hard to understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the backof my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time — but forhim, it’s more like 12 bones of donated strawberries nearing their last days.Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C., which recovers foodand turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries?Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down theroad.
Suchmethods seem obvious, yet so often we just don’t think. “Everyone can play apart in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary inyour weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish youwon’t eat,” Curtin says.
