I never heard "eat what's on your plate, there are starving children in Africa (India, South America...)". I was happy to see any food in front of me. For those of us who take for granted unlimited amount of food available to purchase too much is wasted. A 2004 report noted 75 Billion dollars of food wasted from restaurants, institutions and homes. Think about what you buy today. Take a food, refrigerator inventory. Use your food. Don't waste.
A staggering figure, $75 billion. It's an eye-opener and a consciousness-raiser. We can all do better, even in small ways. Thanks for doing this, Joey.
ReplyDeleteNow you know why I do frequent inventories of the refrigerator and cook and use food the way I do. The outcome usually is tasty don't you think?
